Its bishopric was a suffragan of Ephesus, the capital and metropolitan see of the province, and is included in the Catholic Church's list of titular sees.

Neonteichos (, lit. 'new wall'), was an Aeolian town not far from the coast of Mysia, situated between the Hermus and the town of Larissa, from which its distance was only 30 stadia. It is said to have been founded by the Aeolians, as a temporary fort on their first arrival in Asia Minor. According to Strabo, the place was more ancient even than Cyme; but according to a statement in the Vita Homeri it was built eight years later than Cyme, as a protection against the Pelasgians of Larissa.
