Danaba was a town and bishopric in the late Roman province of Phoenicia Secunda.
Danaba is mentioned by Ptolemy (V, xv, 24) as a town in the territory of Palmyra.
Today Danaba may be represented by Hafer, a village five miles southeast of Sadad, which in the early 20th century was in the Ottoman vilayet of Damascus; about 300 Jacobite Syrians lived there, most of whom had been converted to Catholicism.
Only two bishops are known: Theodore, who attended the Council of Chalcedon in 451, and who subscribed the letter of the bishops of the province to Byzantine Emperor Leo I the Thracian in 458 regarding the murder of Proterius of Alexandria, and Eulogius, present at the Second Council of Constantinople in 553.
[2][3][4] No longer a residential bishopric, Danaba is included in the Catholic Church's list of titular sees.
