There are three bishops of antiquity mentioned by the historical sources. *The Donatist bishop Rufino attended the Conference of Carthage (411). The diocese had no Catholic counterpart. *Jona was present at the Synod of Carthage (484) called by the Vandal king Huneric. *Victor witnessed the document of doctrine following the Council of Carthage (525) held by Metropolitan Bonifacio. Today Lapda survives as a titular bishopric and the current bishop is José Mauricio Vélez García, of Medellín.
