Residential Ordinaries
Two of its incumbent Bishops are recorded for certain:
- Eutichianus, in whose name Metropolitan Diogenes of Cyzicus signed at the Council of Chalcedon (451)[3]
- Domninus, who in 458 signed the letter of the bishops of the Hellespont province to Leo I the Thracian after the lynching by Coptic mobs of Patriarch Proterius of Alexandria.[citation needed]
Two other Bishops of Baris, Paulus and Stefanus, signing at councils in 869 and 879, might be from this see or its namesake
Baris in Pisidia
.
Titular see
The diocese was nominally restored (no later than 1738 and again in 1933) as the
Titular bishopric
(held by an ordained, non-diocesan bishop who usually serves in another capacity as well) of Baris in Hellesponto (Latin). The diocese is known as Baris di Ellesponto in Curiate Italian.
The bishopric has been vacant for a number of decades, but was previously held by at least three incumbents of the fitting Episcopal (lowest) rank, whose simultaneous assignment is listed as well:[4]
- Louis Marie Maggi (陸迪仁), Apostolic Vicarof Szechwan 四川 (December 17, 1742 – August 20, 1743)
- Auxiliary Bishop of Baltimore(Maryland, USA) (December 22, 1953 – death October 11, 1960)
- Sandomierz–Radom (Poland) (October 26, 1960 – November 22, 1990).
