This city was in the Roman province of Libya Inferior.[3] Since the foundation, the diocese had no titular bishop.[4]

The diocese re-establishes an ancient bishopric that flourished in the Roman Empire.[5] Three bishops from antiquity are known.[6]

  1. Filocalo (fl.449)
  2. Massimo (fl.457)
  3. Giovanni (fl.480 circa)
