| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pisidia |
 | | A country in the southwestern part of Asia Minor, between the high Phrygian tableland and the maritime plain of Pamphilia. |
 | | This district, formed by the lofty ridges of the western Taurus range, was in pre-Christian times the abode of stalwart, half-civilized, and unruly tribes, never entirely subdued. |
