The first bishop mentioned by any historical sources is Hermogene. the martyrology indicates he was a martyr and disciple of St. Paul.

Another two bishops of Anineta, are Teodoro who participated in the Ecumenical Council of Ephesus ( 431 ) and Mamas [5][6][7] participated in the Council of Chalcedon ( 451 ). Today Anineta survives as a titular bishopric and the seat is vacant.
