Description
A short entry on Chrysopolis, a titular see of Roman Arabia, distinct from the Chrysopolis facing Constantinople, now Scutari, which was never a see. This Chrysopolis, suffragan to Bostra in Arabia, appears in neither Hierocles nor George of Cyprus, perhaps because it bore a native name never identified.
The Notitiae Episcopatuum, the lists of sees, name it under the sixth-century Antioch patriarch Anastasius. One Greek bishop only is known: John, present at Chalcedon in 451. Seven Latin titular bishops are known from 1297 to 1648, recorded by Lequien and Eubel. The entry is a brief notice of a small Arabian see kept alive in name long after its city faded.
