Isba
Isba
was a
city
on the border
of
ancient Pamphylia
. It has been
identified
with the
modern
village
of
Çeşme

Isba became a
Christian
bishopric
, a
suffragan
of the
metropolitan see
of
Side
, the capital of the
Roman province
of
Pamphylia Prima
, to which Isba belonged. No
longer
a residential bishopric, Isba is
today
listed
by the
Catholic Church
as a
titular see
.
Among the
titular bishops
of the
see
was
Lionel Scheffer
, later
Vicar Apostolic
of
Labrador
, after whom
Schefferville, Quebec
is named.
