ΒΙΣΑΝΘΗ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΤΟΥΡΚΙΑ
Bisanthe (Bisanthe: Eth. Bisanthenos: Rodasto, or Rodostshig), a great
city in Thrace, on the coast of the Propontis, which had been founded by the Samians.
(Steph. B. s. v.; Herod. vii. 137; Pomp. Mela, ii. 2, 6; Ptol. iii. 11. § 6.)
About B.C. 400. Bisanthe belonged to the kingdom of the Thracian prince Seuthes.
(Xen. Anab. vii. 2. 38) At a later period its name was changed into Raedestum
or Raedestus (Hpaideston or Hpaidestos); but when this change took place is unknown.
In the 6th century of our era, the emperor Justinian did much to restore the city,
which seems to have fallen into decay (Procop. De Aedif. iv. 9); but after that
time it was twice destroyed by the Bulgarians, first in A.D. 813 (Simeon Magister,
Leon. Armen. 9, p. 614, ed. Bonn), and a second time in 1206. (Nicetas, Bald.
Fland. 14; Georg. Acropolita, Annal. 13.) The further history of this city, which
was of great importance to Byzantium, may be read in Georg. Pachymeres and Cantacuzenus.
It is generally believed that the town of Resistos or Resisto, mentioned by Pliny
(iv. 18), and in the Antonine Itinerary (p. 176), is the same as Bisanthe; but
Pliny mentions Bisanthe and Resistos as distinct towns. (Eckhel, vol. ii. p. 25.)

ΜΥΡΙΟΦΥΤΟ (Πόλη) ΜΑΡΜΑΡΑ
A titular see of Thracia Prima and suffragan of Heraclea. The early
history of this city is not known. We find it mentioned for the first time in
connection with an earthquake which destroyed it in the year 1063 of our era (Muralt,
"Essai de chronologie byzantine", II, 8). It was visited by John Cantacuzene about
1350 (Hist., III, 76). As a suffragan of Heraclea we find it, under the title
of Peristasis and Myriophytum, mentioned first in a "Notitia episcopatuum"
of the end of the fifteenth century (Gelzer, "Ungedruckte . . . Texte der
Notitiae episcopatuum", 633). The title of Peristasis existed already in
1170 (Parthey, "Hieroclis Synecdemus", 103). In the sixteenth century
Myriophytum displaced Peristasis, and the diocese took the name of Myriophyturn
and Peristasis (Le Quien, "Oriens christianus", I, 1151). No change
has since taken place, except that among the Greeks in 1908 it was elevated to
an autocephalous metropolitan see. To-day Myriophytum is a rather busy port on
the Sea of Marmora; the city
numbers 5000 Greeks and 400 Turks. The schismatic archdiocese includes only ten
parishes with about 22,000 souls, of whom Peristasis alone includes about 6000.
