Eulepa

For the genus of insect, see Callopistria.

Eulepa (Εύλεπα) was an ancient Greek town in Cappadocia, inhabited in Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine times.[1]

The archaeological site is located near the village of Palas—formerly known as Gölova for a period—which today belongs to the Sarıoğlan district of Kayseri Province.[1][2] The name "Palas" is believed to have evolved from the name of the town mentioned in episcopal lists since the 9th century: Aipolía > Aipolias > Epalas.
