ARPI. - City, seat of an ancient bishopric, in Apulia (the Argyripa of Virgil, Aen., XI, 246) in the center of the plain south of the Gargano, 20 miles from the sea, and 8 km. from Foggia; today it has disappeared. The diocese, a suffragan of Siponto, disappears after 314, transferred, it seems, to Siponto, or rather united with or transferred to Lucera. It is to be held that St. Pardus, bishop of A. in 314, buried at Lucera, is the St. Pardus venerated in Apulia as a citizen of the Peloponnese.
