It is located near Ernes, Turkey, Ernes, in the interior of Lycia where archaeological remains have been found.

No longer a residential bishopric, Arneae is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.''Annuario Pontificio 2013'' (Libreria Editrice Vaticana 2013 ), p. 839 Notable residents *Lalla of Arneae, first century References
