 Its site was probably at modern Lara (Antalya province), where there are ruins of a small artificial harbour.Magydus was a small town with no notable history, on the coast between Attaleia and Perga, mentioned occasionally by geographers of the Roman and Late Antiquity periods, and on numerous coins of the imperial era.It was situated in the Roman province of Pamphylia Secunda, and its bishopric therefore appears as a suffragan of the archbishopric of Perga, the metropolitan see of that province, in the sway of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, as attested by the "Notitiae episcopatuum" of the Byzantine empire until the 12th or 13th century .
