Ecclesiastical history
The bishop of Binda was a suffragan bishop of Antiochia in Pisidia . The episcopal see is not mentioned in the Notitiae Episcopatuum Byzantine Emperor Leo VI the Isaurian .[ 3]
Three bishops of the see are known through their participation in church councils. Theodorus was at the Trullan Council of 692. At the Council of Constantinople (879) there were two bishops of Binda, Stephanus and Paulus, perhaps, as in other cases, one ordained by Patriarch Ignatius of Constantinople , the other by Photius . No longer a residential bishopric, Binda is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see .[ 4]
