Syca or Syce or Syke (Ancient Greek: Σύκη), also called Sycae or Sykai (Συκαί),[1] possibly also called Setos, was a town of ancient Cilicia and later of Isauria, between Arsinoë and Celenderis.[2][3] It became a bishopric; no longer the seat of a residential bishop, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[4]

Syce is located near Softa Kalesi in Asiatic Turkey.[5][2]
