Summary/Abstract: The jurisdiction of episcopal authority in relation to a particular local church or episcopal city, was established by canons of all local and Ecumenical Councils, defining and establishing the hierarchy of episcopal catholicity within a given province, and the regulation of the episcopal city bishop’s championship. In relation to the city, it is observed that the episcopal dignity finds its foundation also in the imperial legislation that articulates bishop’s civic duties as an impartial local guarantor in the implementation of law.
