Heraclea Salbace (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: Ἡράκλεια Σαλβάκη|Herakleia Salbake), Heraclea Salbaces (Ἡράκλεια Σαλβάκης - Herakleia Salbakes), Heraclea ad Albanum (Ἡράκλεια πρὸς Ἀλβανῷ - Herakleia pros Albano), or Heraclea Albace (Ἡράκλεια Ἀλβάκη),[1] or simply Heraclea or Herakleia (Ἡράκλεια), also transliterated as Heracleia, was a town of ancient Caria.
Suda mentioned that there was a grammarian from the city who wrote many books and was called Diogenianus (Διογενειανός) (but it may be an error and it means the Diogenianus from Heraclea Pontica).[2]
The place must have Christianised early as an early bishopric is attested. Bishop Polychronius represented the town at the Council of Ephesus. No longer a residential see, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[3]
Its site is located near Vakıf, Asiatic Turkey.
