Local councils, NPNF II.14
17. Canon 17
That any province on account of its distance, may have its own Primate.
It seemed good that Mauretania Sitiphensis, as it asked, should have a Primate of its own, with the consent of the Primate of Numidia from whose synod it had been separated.1 And with the consent of all the primates of the African Provinces and of all the bishops permission was given, by reason of the great distance between them.
Notes · Ancient Epitome of Canon XVII
