Catenna
Cotenna or Kotenna ( grc, Κότεννα) was a city in the Roman province of Pamphylia I in Asia Minor. It corresponds to modern Gödene, near Konya, Turkey. Name Strabo (Geography, 12.7.1) mentions the Katenneis ( el, Κατεννεῖς) in Pisidia adjoining Selge and the tribe of Homonades ( grc, Ὁμοναδεῖς) east and north of Trogitis ( Lake Suğla). An inscription has been found showing that the people called themselves Kotenneis, so that the true name of the town was Kotenna/Cotenna. Hierocles mentions it instead as Kotana in Pamphylia. It appears as Kotaina in some ''Notitiae episcopatuum''. It has been said that the Kotenneis are the same as the Etenneis ( el, Ετεννεῖς), mentioned by Polybius (V, 73) as living in Pisidia above Side, and who struck coins in the Roman times. The native name may have been Hetenneis, and the tribe afterwards divided into at least two districts, the northern taking the name Etenneis, while the southern preferred Koten ...

Vicariate Apostolic Of Baie James
A vicar (; Latin: '' vicarius'') is a representative, deputy or substitute; anyone acting "in the person of" or agent for a superior (compare "vicarious" in the sense of "at second hand"). Linguistically, ''vicar'' is cognate with the English prefix "vice", similarly meaning "deputy". The title appears in a number of Christian ecclesiastical contexts, but also as an administrative title, or title modifier, in the Roman Empire. In addition, in the Holy Roman Empire a local representative of the emperor, perhaps an archduke, might be styled "vicar". Roman Catholic Church The Pope uses the title ''Vicarius Christi'', meaning the ''vicar of Christ''. In Catholic canon law, ''a vicar is the representative of any ecclesiastic'' entity. The Romans had used the term to describe officials subordinate to the praetorian prefects. In the early Christian churches, bishops likewise had their vicars, such as the archdeacons and archpriests, and also the rural priest, the curate who had the ' ...
