From\ Cambridge University Press:
"The site of medieval Eucha{\"\i}ta, on the northern edge of the central Anatolian plateau, was the centre of the cult of St Theodore Tiro ({\textquoteright}the Recruit{\textquoteright}). Unlike most excavated or surveyed urban centres of the Byzantine period, Eucha{\"\i}ta was never a major metropolis, cultural centre or extensive urban site, although it had a military function from the seventh-ninth century. Its significance lies precisely in the fact\ that as a small provincial town, something of a backwater, it was probably more typical of the {\textquoteright}average{\textquoteright} provincial Anatolian urban settlement, yet almost nothing is known about such sites."
