Notitia provinciarum et civitatum Africae

[1] The cause of its preparation was the council of Carthage held on 1 February 484 by the Arian king of the Vandals, Huneric (477–484).

It also names exiled bishops and vacant sees, and is an important authority for the history of the early African church and the geography of these provinces.

It is preserved in the sole extant manuscript containing the History of the Vandal Persecution by Bishop Victor of Vita.

[7] The Notitia lists the Chalcedonian (Catholic) bishops (nomina episcorum catholicorum) who participated in the council held at Carthage on 1 February 484, as well as those who were victims of the Vandal Persecution and those who were exiled or fled (fugerunt).

It has long been attributed, wrongly, to Victor of Vita, and its author is designated, by convention, as Pseudo-Victor.
