Tacitus (14:27) simply notes that ???One of the famous cities of Asia, Laodicea, was that same year (66) overthrown by an earthquake, and, without any relief from us, recovered itself by its own resources???
So, the city was not abandoned, but rebuilt.
I don't consider the 'earthquake' that fatal that it would not have inhabitants for many years.
