Ecclesiastical history

The original diocese was in Augustamnica Prima, a suffragan of Pelusium.[1]

It is mentioned by Hierocles[2] and by George of Cyprus, as among the thirteen towns of Augustamnica Prima.

Le Quien[3] mentions only two bishops: John, who took part in two Councils of Ephesus (First, 431 and Second, 449), and Peter, present at the Council of Constantinople in 459.Шаблон:Dubious

It remains a Roman Catholic titular see.
