Parlais is a former Roman city of Pisidia (in Asia Minor).
History
As a Roman colony it was called Julia Augusta Parlais, and money was coined under this title.{{cite book|author=Eckhel|title=Historica veterum nummorum|volume=III|page=33}} Ptolemy{{cite Ptolemy|V, 6, 16}} calls it Paralais and places it in Lycaonia (also in Asia Minor). Kiepert identified it with Barla, in the Ottoman vilayet of Koniah, but W. M. Ramsay{{cite book|title=Asia Minor|page=390 sqq}} believes that it is contained in the ruins known as Uzumla Monastir. Modern scholars follow Kiepert.{{Cite DARE|21533}}
Ecclesiastical history
The bishopric of Parlais was a suffragan of Antioch, the metropolitan see of the province.
The Notitiæ Episcopatuum mention the see as late as the 13th century under the names Parlaos, Paralaos and even Parallos. Four bishops are known from their participation in church councils: Patricius, Constantinople, 381; Libanius, Chalcedon, 451 (in the decrees the see is placed in Lycaonia); George, Constantinople, 692; Anthimus, Constantinople, 879. Academius who assisted at the First Council of Nicaea, 325, was Bishop of Pappa, not of Parlais as Le Quien claims.{{cite book|title=Oriens christianus|volume=I|page=1057}}
It is included in the Catholic Church's list of titular sees.{{cite book|title=Annuario Pontificio 2013|publisher=Libreria Editrice Vaticana|year=2013|isbn=978-88-209-9070-1|page=950}}
