Chorepiscopus
1910 New Catholic Dictionary
(Greek: chorepiskopos, rural bishop) Name originally given in the Eastern Church to a bishop whose jurisdiction was confined to a rural district. The chorepiscopi still exist among the Maronites and the Jacobites, but they disappeared in the West in the 11th century, being replaced by archdeacons.
