[1] The same year Adam of Acre became the first Roman Catholic bishop to be installed in Banias.
[2] Archaeologist Denys Pringle assumes that a cathedral church was constructed in Banias, but its location has not yet been determined.
[6] In 1164 Banias was conquered by Nur ad-Din Zengi, becoming the first diocese in the Kingdom of Jerusalem to be lost to the Muslims.
The incumbent bishop, John, was not in Banias at the time and continued to hold the title until his death in 1170.
[8] The titular bishops were nevertheless occasionally called on to deal with business relating to the kingdom,[9] such as when Pope Gregory X tasked the bishop (along with the bishop of Bethlehem and the archbishop of Nazareth) with ordering King Hugh I to answer the claim of Maria of Antioch to the throne of Jerusalem.
