Catenna


Coordinates: 37°02′N 31°38′E / 37.033°N 31.633°E / 37.033; 31.633 Cotenna was a city in the Roman province of Pamphylia I in Asia Minor. It corresponds to modern Gödene, near Konya, Turkey.

Strabo (Geography, 12.7.1) mentions the Katenneis (Greek: Κατεννεῖς) in Pisidia adjoining Selge and the tribe of Homonades (Greek: Ὁμοναδεῖς) east and north of Trogitis (Lake Beyşehir). An inscription has been found showing that the people called themselves Kotenneis, so that the true name of the town was Kotenna/Cotenna. Hierocles mentions it instead as Kotana in Pamphylia. It appears as Kotaina in some Notitiae episcopatuum. It has been said that the Kotenneis are the same as the Etenneis (Greek: Ετεννεῖς), mentioned by Polybius (V, 73) as living in Pisidia above Side, and who struck coins in the Roman times. The native name may have been Hetenneis, and the tribe afterwards divided into at least two districts, the northern taking the name Etenneis, while the southern preferred Kotenneis.
