LADIK, or LADIKIEH, a town of Asia Minor, which occupies the site of the ancient Laodicea. The only vestiges that remain of this ancient place are fragments of marble columns, and a few capitals and pedestals of pillars, which the Turks have converted into tomb-stones. The modern town is built of mud, and contains 400 or 500 inhabitants. It is thirty miles west of Konieh.
