Assuras

Saint Cyprian of Carthage speaks of him in a letter that he wrote to the Christians of Assuras in about 252,[1] which shows that he tried to recover the see from which he had been driven.

He was replaced by Epictetus, who died before 256, the year in which his successor Victor took part in a council at Carthage convoked by Cyprian to deal with the problem of the lapsi.

[2][3][4][5] Praetextatus was at the council held at Cabarsussi in 393 by a breakaway group of Donatists led by Maximianus and signed its acts.

The participants were condemned in the following year by a council that the main Donatist body, which recognized Primianus as Bishop of Carthage, held at Bagai.

[2][3][4][5] Assuras is still mentioned as a bishopric in an early 8th-century Byzantine Notitiae Episcopatuum of the Patriarchate of Alexandria.
