Hyde (Cappadocia)

Hyde or Hyda was a town of ancient Cappadocia and later of Lycaonia, near the frontiers of Galatia. ^{[1] [2]} It became a bishopric; no longer the seat of a residential bishop, it remains, under the name Hyda in Lycaonia, a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church. ^[3]

In the Hittite period, it may have been Uda.

Its site is tentatively located near Akçaşehir, Karaman Province, Turkey. ^{[4] [5]}
