Cerdonianum; ܩܪܕܘܢܝܐܢ; ܩܪܕܘܢܝܐܢ
Joh. Eph., EH 2.46, names thus the place in Bithynia, located close to the thermal baths of Pythia, where Narses gave the 'Kathara monastery' mentioned in Joh. Eph., EH 1.39, to a group of expelled miaphysite monks from Cappadocia. The name is not attested otherwise and may be connected to the Marcionite heretic Cerdon.
