Nysa on the Maeander was an ancient city of Anatolia, whose remains are in the Sultanhisar district of Aydın Province of Turkey, 50 kilometres (31 mi) east of the Ionian city of Ephesus (nonfiction).

Description

At one time it was reckoned as belonging Caria or Lydia, but under the Roman Empire (nonfiction) it was within the province of Asia, which had Ephesus (nonfiction) for capital, and the bishop of Nysa was thus a suffragan of the metropolitan see of Ephesus.
