EUCA´RPIA(Εὐκαρπία: Eth. Εὐκαρπεύς, Eucarpenus), a town in Phrygia, not far from the sources of the Maeander, on the road from Dorylaeum to Apameia Cibotus; it was situated in a very fertile district, to which it is said to have been indebted for its name. The vine especially grew there very luxuriously. (Steph. B. s. v.;Strab. 12. p. 576.) Under the Roman dominion Eucarpia belonged to the conventusof Synnada, to the southwest of which city it was situated. (Plin. Nat. 5.29; comp. Ptol. 5.2.24; Hierocl. p. 666; Geogr. Rav.) Both Arundell ( Discov. in As. Min. 1. p. 136) and Kiepert place Eucarpia at no great distance from Segiclar, but its exact site is unknown. COIN OF EUCARPIA.
