Pepuza

Apollonius, who wrote against the Montanists forty years after their beginning, says that Montanus gave the name Jerusalem to Pepuza and Tymion, “small towns in Phrygia”, and wished people to gather there from everywhere (Eusebius, Church History 5.18.2). Maximilla prophesied there (Eusebius, Church History 5.18.13). Epiphanius, whose Greek is paraphrased here, reports that a prophetess saw Christ at Pepuza and was told that the heavenly Jerusalem would come down at that place, and that people still went there in his day to seek the same vision (Epiphanius, Panarion 49.1). The writers cited here do not say exactly where the town lay. William Tabbernee and Peter Lampe, Pepouza and Tymion: The Discovery and Archaeological Exploration of a Lost Ancient City and an Imperial Estate (2008), identify it with a site near the village of Karayakuplu; the coordinates given here are those of the Pleiades gazetteer.
