The NotitiaeEpiscopatuum singular Notitia Episcopatuum are official documents that furnish Eastern countries the list and hierarchical rank of the metropolitan bishop metropolitan and suffragan Diocese bishopric s of a church. In the Catholic Church Roman Church the Patriarchate of Rome , archbishop s and bishop s were classed according to the seniority of their consecration, and in Africa according to their age. In the Eastern patriarchates, however, the hierarchical rank of each bishop was determined by the see he occupied. Thus, in the Patriarchate of Constantinople , the first metropolitan was not the longest ordained, but whoever happened to be the incumbent of the See of Caesarea Maritima Caesarea the second was the Archbishop of Ephesus , and so on. In every ecclesiastical province, the rank of each suffragan was thus determined, and remained unchanged unless the list was subsequently ...

Cambysopolis is the non classical name of a Roman Catholic titular bishopric in the former Roman province of Asia Minor . The name is owing to a mistake of some medieval geographer. Ancient and ecclesiastical history After his victory at Issus 333 B.C. Alexander the Great built, near the ancient town of Myriandros , a city called after him Alexandria Minor or Alexandria ad Issum , or, more frequently Alexandria Scabiosa , i.e. mountainous . It became a suffragan diocese of Anazarbus , the metropolis of the Roman province of Cilicia Secunda . Lequien II, 903 mentions a dozen bishops among them St. Helenus , martyr St. Aristion , martyr St. Theodore, martyr Paulus, a Monophysite christologic heretic from the Catholic and orthodox point of view E.W. Brooks, The Sixth Book of the Select Letters of Severus, II, 98 . In an Antiochene Notitia episcopatuum of the tenth century A.P. Kerameus, Maurocordatos Library Greek , Constantinople, 1884, p. 66 , instead of Alexandria Scabiosa , we read the strange form Alexandroukambousou , in one word. A little later, and surely in the twelfth century, this corrupt form was mistaken for two names and thus arose Alexandrou and Kambysou polis . Hence came two episcopal titles connected with one city, and the name Cambysopolis passed into all the Greek and Latin Notitiae episcopatuum . The Roman Curia preserved only the title Cambysopolis the correct Ancient name, Alexandria Scabiosa, exists no more. Modern history The city, situated on the bay of the same name, was later called Alexandretta , and by the Turks Iskanderoun when it was in the vilayet of Aleppo , and was united to that Syrian latter city by a carriage road.
