Bishops are normally listed with the name of their see (e.g. Augustine of Hippo). Wherever possible other geographical indicators are given to identify the principal area where the writer lived and worked. Since early Christians were very mobile, however, these indicators are not complete. The time indicators are generally those given by Dekkers.
