A geographicall and historicall disqvisition touching the Asia properly so called, the Lydian Asia (which is the Asia so often mentioned in the New Testament), the Proconsular Asia, and the Asian Diocese by James Ussher.

CHAP. IV. Of the Asian Diocese, and the Metropolitan cities there∣of; with the Civill and Ecclesiasticall government set∣led therein. (Book 4)

A Diocese, in the language of the times whereof we speake, was a 1.1 a circuit comprehending within it many provinces: and the Asian Diocese in that sense, sometimes taken more strictly, as it was distinguished from the Proconsular Asia and the provinces subject to the jurisdiction of the Proconsul thereof; and some∣times more largely, as containing those Proconsular provinces also under it. The former acception hath place in that Constitution of Theodosius the elder, whe••e b 1.2 the Proconsular Asia and the Asian Diocese are both nominated together: and generally where ever the office of the Vicarius or c 1.3 Comes (for these two ti∣tles are used d 1.4 to signifie the same dignitie) of Asia or the Asian Diocese (or e 1.5 Region, as Julianus Antecessor rendreth it) is made mention of. The latter, when the Asian is rehearsed joinctly with other Dioceses of the Eastern Empire: as in L. Si quis post hanc. C. Ut nemo ad suum patrocin. and L. Provinciae Thraciar· C. de mili∣tari veste.

According to which acception, whole f 1.6 Asia, as The∣odoret calleth it, in the dayes of the younger Theodosi∣us did consist of eleven Provinces. g 1.7 three whereof ap∣pertained to the disposition of the Proconsul of Asia: the proper Proconsular which he governed by him∣selfe, the Consular Hellespont, and that of the Rhodes, and the other scattered Islands called Cyclades; which were first h 1.8 made a Province, and placed under a i 1.9 President, by the Emperour Vespasian k 1.10 eight were under the Vi∣carius or Lieutenant of Asia: Lydia, Caria, Phrygia Pacatiana and Phrygia Salutaris, with those foure other which were superadded to that proper Asia of the an∣cient Romans, whereof we made mention in the beginning out of Strabo and Cicero; namely Pam¦phylia, Lycia, Lycaonia and Pisidia.

This distribution is to be seen in the Latin list of the Provinces and Dignities of both the Empires; cal∣led by l 1.11 Alciat the Breviary of Theodosius the younger. m 1.12 by whom Lycia was divided from Lycaonia and made a Province by it selfe; Myra being appointed the Metropolis and place of the residence of the Pre∣sident thereof: as Iohannes Malela setteth downe in his Chronicle. Which report of his if we admit for au∣thentique; we must withall say, that Theodoret, in the place even now alledged, had relation to the state of his owne time, when speaking of the care which Chry∣sostom had of Asia, he saith that it was governed by ele∣ven Presidents. joyning the three Provinces which were under the Proconsul of Asia, with the other eight

that were under the Vicarius of the Asian diocese; which otherwise, if Lycia and Lycaonia had been conjoyned, would have been but seven Provinces.

Indeed, n 1.13 in the generall enumeration of the Pro∣vinces of the Easterne Empire, which we meet with∣all toward the beginning of the foresaid Theodosian Breviary, there are but ten Provinces numbred of the whole Asian diocese: the first and principall of them all, to wit Asia it selfe, by some errour (wherewith o 1.14 Onuphrius also and p 1.15 Contius was misledd) being o∣mitted. Which was nothing amended by Isidorus Mercator, but increased rather; when he reckoneth up q 1.16 twelve Provinces in this Asia: the first and chiefe whereof he maketh to be Asia it selfe; r 1.17 in which (saith he) is Ilium, or Troy; the second Lydia, the third Gala∣tia. Whereas Ilium was situated not in this, but in rhe province of Hellespont: and Galatia appertained to the Pontican, and not to the Asian Diocese. Whence, by the way, we may correct an errour that hath crept in∣to the Greek edition of the subscriptions of the 6. A∣ction of the Councell of Chalcedon: wherein, though Theosebius Bishop of Ilium had put to his name, yet Stephen the Metropolitan of the Ephesians, among those absent Bishops that were under his jurisdiction, doth nominate Rufinus Bishop, not Timi (as the Latin books have it) but Ilii.

s 1.18 Some do think, that the Emperour Iustinian did take away Hellespont from the government of the Pro∣consul of Asia, and joyned it with Pontus Polemoniacus. But that errour arose from the old Latin translation of the XX^th. Novell of Justinian; t 1.19 Hellespontus being therein put for Helenopontus, in the Pontican diocese: as appeareth not only by the Greek text and u 1.20 Iulians

Latin Epitome thereof, but also by the Latin it selfe (acknowledging afterwards, that this mutation was made in Galatia and the Pontican, not the Asian dio∣cese) and by the XXVIII ^th. Novell most evidently. Though sure it is, that x 1.21 he took from the Lievtenant or Vicarius the government of the Asian diocese, and confined him within the limits of Phrygia Pacatiana, whereof he constituted him Count or Comes.

By that which in the second chapter hath been de∣livered, it appeareth, that under the first Emperours there were many metropoliticall cities within one Province; and some chosen out of them wherein Courts of justice were erected, unto which the next adjoyning circuits might upon all occasions have re∣course. Whereupon those contentions afterwards did arise betwixt the cities of the Proconsular Asia, touching each ones dignitie and precedency: for the composing whereof Aristides made that Oration of concord unto them, which is still extant. Wherein yet the common desire of all the Asians accorded in this; y 1.22 that the Proconsul, at his first comming into the pro∣vince, should passe into Asia by sea, and among the other Metropoles first arrive at Ephesus: as by the Rescript of the Emperour Antoninus (vouched by Ulpian, in his first book of the Proconsuls office) most manifest∣ly appeareth.

But in the disposition of the Empire made by Con∣stantine it was ordered, that in every Province there should be but one chiefe city held for the Metropolis: and that unto it,l 1.23 all the Provincials should resort for the administration of publike justice. Whereupon E∣phesus, being by the former Imperiall Constitution, grounded upon the joincte consent of the Asians

themselves,z 1.24 preferred before all the rest (as being the ordinary place of the convention of the Common Coun∣cell, and it self held to be a 1.25 the common treasury of Asia) was appointed to be the sole Metropolis of this new Pro∣consular Asia; and withall retained the preeminence which formerly it had above all the cities of the old. Whereof, we may see the testimonies, aswell of b 1.26 Chry∣sostom and others of the ancient who wrote upon the Epistle of S Paul to the Ephesians; as of the Emperour c 1.27 Theodosius, in the letters wherby he summoneth Dio∣scorus and other Bishops to appeare at the second Councell at Ephesus, assembled by him in the yeare of our Lord CCCCXLIX.

Whence he that wrote the book of the places men∣tioned in the Acts of the Apostles (falsly fathered upon S. Hierom) saying that d 1.28 where the city of Ephesus is, there is the Asia specially so called; may seem to have meant no other thing thereby, but that the province which had Ephesus for it's Metropolis, was that which had the name of Asia in a singular manner appropri∣ated unto it. if therein he looked any further then to the ba••e words of the text; wherein it is said, that Paul e 1.29 continuing at Ephesus by the space of two years, all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord. and that afterward f 1.30 he determined to sayle by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: and thereup∣on sending for the Elde••s of the Church of Ephesus, he said unto them; Ye know from the fi••st day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have beene with you at all seasons. Out of all which it was no hard matter for him to gather at large, as g 1.31 Erasmus did after him; that Asia in the new Testament denoteth that part of Asia minor, in which Ephesus standeth.

It is here also further to be noted, that as in the state of the civill government, the jurisdiction of the annu∣all Presidents (by Aristides styled h 1.32 Bishops) was exten∣ded unto all the cities that were contained within the limits of their severall provinces; and when but one Metropolis was appointed unto every province, wherein the Governour was to keep his ordinary resi∣dence, the Provinciall Presidents had from thence the appellation of 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 (or M••tropolitan Judges, as, at the end of the first Novell of Justinian, the * 1.33 old Latin Interpreter rendr••th it:) so, in the Eastern empire especially, the Ecclesiasticall r••giment was herein conformed unto the civill; there being but one Metropolitan Bishop setled in every Province, unto whom the Bishops of all the rest of the cities were sub∣ordinated. By which meanes it came to passe. that of the seven Churches in Asia, spoken of in the book of the Revelation, Ephesus alone in the dayes of Constantine had the Metropoliticall dignitie left unto it. Then af∣ter the dayes of Valens the Emperour, the inland Ly∣dia being separated from Asia, the Bishop of Sardis (which had been the i 1.34 ancient seat of the Lydian Kings) became the Metropolitan of that province: the sees of Philadelphia and * 1.35 Thyatira being made subject to him; as Smyrna and Pergamus were to the Bishop of Ephesus.

There remained then of the seven, only Laodicea: which got the honour of being the Metropolis of Phry∣gia Pacatiana; as we read in the Greek subscription of

the first epistle unto Timothy: the §. 1.36 latenesse whereof is thence rightly collected by the learned k 1.37 Cujaicus. For as the distinction of Ph••ygia Pacatiana and Salutaris is no where to be found before the distribution of the provinces made by Constantine: so at that time also, when but one Metropolis was allotted unto every Pro∣vince, it is a question, whether of those two * 1.38 prime cities that were so nea••e together, Hierapolis, which without all controversie was acknowledged to belong unto Phrygia, was not rather chosen to be the mother city therein, then Laodicea, which by reason of the doubtfull situation thereof (as we have heard) was in∣differently challenged to appertaine unto Phrygia, Ca∣ria and Lydia.

In the dayes of the succeeding Emperours indeed, l 1.39 who yielded so farr to the ambition of some Bishops, that they were content there should be two Metropo∣litans in one Province, both these cities were accoun∣ted for the Metropoles of Phrygia Pacatiana which is the cause, why in the fourth generall Councell, assembled at Chalcedon, aswell m 1.40 Nunechius Bishop of the Metropo∣lis of Laodicea, as Stephen Bishop of the Metropolis of Hie∣rapolis, do subscribe for themselvs and the absent Bishops which were under them. as also in the fifth general Coun∣cell held at Constantinople, there is mention made at the same time of n 1.41 Iohn Bishop of the Metropolis of the Lao¦diceans, and Auxanon Bishop of the Metropolis of the Hi∣erapolitans: & in the sixth, of Tiberius Bishop of the La∣odiceans and Sisinnius of the Hierapolitans, either of them

giving unto his seat the title o 1.42 of the Metropolis of the Pacatian Phrygians.

And although by a Canon of the said Councell of Chalcedon it was provided, that any Bishop which after∣ward p 1.43 would attempt to make such divisions to the derogation of the rights of his owne Metropo∣litan, should be deprived of his dignitie; and that q 1.44 the new Metropoles formerly constituted by the Imperiall Charters should so content themselves with this honour, that the proper rights should still be pre∣served unto that which was the Metropolis indeed: yet we see for all this, that r 1.45 in the lists of the Bishopricks of the East made in the succeeding times, there are still distinct suffragans reckoned under these two Metro∣politans of Laodicea and Hierapolis; and that diverse o∣ther private Bishops were not hereby restrained from aspiring unto a Metropoliticall dignitie. among whom (to speak onely of those who were within the com∣passe of the Lydian Asia) was the Bishop of Smyrna; who found the meanes to be made first 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 or independent, and then t 1.46 a Metropolitan with u 1.47 seven suffragans depending upon him. x 1.48 the Bishop of Per∣gamus; who was exempted likewise from his subordi∣nation to Ephesus, and made a Metropolitan by himself. and the Bishop of Philadelphia:s 1.49 y 1.50 who by Andronicus Palaeologus the elder was substituted into the place of the Bishop of Sardis, and made Metropolitan of all Ly∣dia. So as of the Bishops of the seven Churches men∣tioned in the book of the Reuelation, he of Thyatira only excepted, all at the last became Metropolitans, as they were at the first.

But among all these, the See of Ephesus had ever∣more the preeminence. And as it was the mother city of the Proconsular Asia: so was that Asia likewise the prime Province of all the Asian Diocese; and had in such e∣steem, that the Proconsul thereof was exempted from the jurisdiction of the Praefectus Praetorio Orientis, (as before we have heard out of Eunapius) unto which the Vicarius or Lieutenant of the Asian Diocese was sub∣ject. Conformably whereunto in the Ecclesiasticall government, the Bishop of Ephesus was not only held to be the Metropolitan of the Proconsular Asia, but also the Primate of all the provinces that were contained within the compasse of the whole Asian Diocese. Vp∣on which ground it was, that among those Bishops which Palladius (in the life of Chrysostom) mentioneth to have beene ordained by Antoninus Bishop of Ephe∣sus; z 1.51 some were of Lycia and Phrygia, as well as others of Asia: the ordination of these latter being challen∣ged by vertue of his Metropoliticall, of the others by his Patriarchicall jurisdiction.

In the Arabick Acts of the Councell of Nice (which that worthy Knight S^r. Thomas Roe, among other rare monuments, brought with him from the East and bestowed upon the famous library of the University of Oxford) it is affirmed that a 1.52 the Patriarchship of Ephe∣sus was translated unto the Bishop of Constantinople, and that he was then made the second in order, and the Patriarch of Alexandria the third. and a Constitution is therein recited, that the Patriarchall see should be translated from Ephesus to the Imperiall city; that so honour might be done both to the Empire and Priesthood together: and, to the end the other Bishop might be honoured (and not lightly set by, because of the transferring of the Patriarchall chaire

from him) that he should enjoy the eminent title of Catholi∣cus. for proofe whereof, the testimony of one Diony∣sius is there alledged.

But neither the authority of this obscure Dionysius, nor of the latter Arabians following him, is of suffici∣ent weight to gaine credit to this relation: especially seeing it is well known, that the title of Catholicus, ta∣ken in this sense, b 1.53 is of a very late originall, and (for ought we can find) at no time attributed unto the Bi∣shop of Ephesus; and that the Bishop of Constantinople had the second place among the Patriarchs first assigned unto him, not in the Councell of Nice, but c 1.54 in the second generall Councell held at Constantinople in the yeare CCCLXXXI. After which advancement, the first Bishop of that see we read of, that extended his jurisdiction beyond the sea unto d 1.55 the Pontican and Asian dioceses, was John Chrysostome, e 1.56 who passing o∣ver unto Ephesus, and holding there the foresaid Sy∣nod of the LXX. Asian Bishops, placed Heraclides in the Bishoprick of Ephesus, then vacant by the death of Antoninus; and deposing XIII. Bishops, who were charged to have been simoniacally ordained by him, placed others in their roome.

And, although within foure yeares after, aswell Heraclides as the other thirteen Bishops of Chryso∣stoms ordination were removed againe, and the for∣mer Bishops restored to their places: yet it appeareth by the acknowledgement of the Pontican and Asian Bi∣shops in the XVI^th. Action of the Councell of Chalce∣don, that his successors continued their claime, and challenged still a right at leastwise in the ordination of the Metropolitans of both those Dioceses. Which power of ordaining Metropolitans, not only in the Thra∣cian

but also in the Pontican and Asian diocese, being thereupon confirmed unto the Bishops of Constantino∣ple by a f 1.57 speciall act of that Councell (beside g 1.58 a liber∣ty given to all clerkes that had any suit with their Me∣tropolitan, to prosecute the same either before the Primate of the Diocese or the Patriarch of Constan∣tinople, at their owne election) gave occasion unto Euagrius to write, that h 1.59 the Councell of Chalcedon took away the Patriarchicall right from the Church of the Ephe∣sians; and that by Timothy of Alexandria (the deadly e∣nemy of that Councell) it was restored thereunto a∣gaine.

After which time we see, that the Bishop of Ephe∣sus, as Metropolitan of the Asian province, subscribeth thus unto the Constantinopolitan Synod held under Me∣nas. i 1.60 I Hypatius, by the mercy of God Bishop of the Me∣tropolis of the Ephesians of the Asian province, have de∣fined and subscribed. and as Patriarch of the Asian dio¦cese, to the letters sent by the sixth Councell of Con∣stantinople, unto Pope Agatho, thus. k 1.61 I Theodorus by the mercie of God Bishop of the Metropolis of the Ephesians, and Primate of the Asian Diocese, both for my self, and the Synod that is under me, have subscribed.

For although in the times of the latter Emperours also, he still retained the title of Primate or l 1.62 Exarch of all Asia; yet all Asia did not import therein the whole Asian Diocese, but the Asian Province only: the exar∣chate of the Diocese, having been wholly engrossed in∣to the hands of the Patriarch of Constantinople. Which

is the cause, why Balsamon noteth, that m 1.63 the privi∣ledge heretofore granted unto Exarches by the Coun∣cell of Chalcedon, was in his dayes of no force at all. For although some of the Metropolitans (saith he) are na∣med Exarches; yet have they none of the other Metropo∣litans within the Dioceses any wayes subject unto them. and n 1.64 Iohn, in a late Synod held after the time of the Councell of Florence, subscribeth himselfe Bishop of the Metropolis of the Ephesians, and Exarch (or Primate, not of the Diocese, but) of the Province of the Asians.

And of the Asian Diocese, with the Civill and Ec∣clesiasticall government thereof, thus much in briefe may suffice.

FINIS.
