chorepiscopus
chorepiscopus. In the early Church a bishop of a country district in full episcopal Orders. He had restricted powers and was wholly subject to the authority of his diocesan. In the E. there were many chorepiscopi in the 4th cent., especially in Asia Minor, but their functions were progressively restricted and by the 13th cent. they had disappeared. In the W. they are first mentioned in 439, were numerous in missionary districts of Germany in the 8th cent., but disappeared in the 12th.
