Archdiocese of Hierapolis in Syria
The archdiocese of Hierapolis in Syria was the metropolitan bishopric of the ecclesiastical province of the Euphratensis. It was based in the city of Hierapolis in Syria (Arabic Manbij, Syriac Mabbug). It was traditionally the fifth see in dignity under the Patriarch of Antioch. Under the Patriarch Athanasius I in the sixth century, it had nine suffragan bishoprics.
During the Crusades, a Latin archbishop of Hierapolis was established at Dülük. He usually resided in Tell Bashir, as did the Syriac Orthodox bishops in the Crusader period. The diocese was set up between 1131 and 1134 by Count Joscelin II of Edessa. It was subject to the Latin Patriarch of Antioch. It had two suffragan sees, Marash and Kesoun. It was effectively lost by 1151.
The following Syriac Orthodox bishops are mentioned in the work of the 12th-century patriarch Michael the Great.
In 1148, John Bar Andras, bishop of Mabbug, exchanged dioceses with Timothy, bishop of Kesoun, contrary to canon law and was forced to resign.
