Notes

  1. Titular Sees ('A')
  2. Often in historical reference this titular see has been confused with the historical see of Belgrad (Beograd), known from 1290 al 1740 also as Alba Graeca, Alba Bulgarica, or Nandoralba.
  3. In the nomination act, the Acta Apostolicae Sedis refer the see as Bellogradensis et Semendriensis graeci ritus; while, reporting the death of the bishop in 1934,the same documents refer his titular see as Belgrad on the sea thus Alba Maritima.
