Italian original Cite

SAPONARA. - In the Agri Valley, an ancient diocese whose name was Grumentum.

The diocese was vacant in 495 (Jaffé-Wattenbach, 678) when Pope Gelasius ordered Bishop Sabinus (perhaps of Consilinum) to consecrate a certain Quartus as deacon of Grumentum with the rank of visitor, and in 496 he recommended to the same Sabinus and to the unknown bishop Crispinus two clerics of Grumentum who had been mistreated by the local archdeacon (ibid., 727-28). In 558-60 there was the bishop Tullianus (ibid., 1015); a parish "ecclesiae Grumentinae" is recorded in 599 (ibid., 1737).
