The remains of a Cilician city in Katranlı, formerly Dindebul, a village of Ermenek in Karaman. Its earlier name is unknown; the name it carries was coined after Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus, consul in 16 BC. According to Constantine Porphyrogenitus it was one of the Ten Cities, the Decapolis, of Isauria. The episcopal lists record it as a suffragan of Seleucia, and Michel Le Quien names five bishops holding the see between 451 and 879. The city is gone but the office survives: Dometiopolis is still a titular bishopric in the Catholic Church.
