CILICIA OF THE ARMENIANS. - Catholic patriarchate since 26 Nov. 1742, when Benedict XIV confirmed Apraham Artzineam, a Catholic bishop, elected katholikâ of Sis by an assembly of priests and laymen desirous of forming themselves into a group independent of the dissident Armenians. The residence was fixed at Kraim, in Lebanon. Its jurisdiction extended to Syria and Egypt. It was subsequently extended to Mesopotamia (1760) and to Tokat and Perkemik, in Asia Minor (1769). The present residence of the patriarch of C. is at Bzommar, near Beirut. The patriarchate numbers 12,000 faithful, 6 parishes and 31 priests.
