History
The church records tell of only 2 known bishops of this diocese.
- Thomas, a Catholic Bishop at the Council of Carthage (411), (no Donatists Bishops represented the town).
- Gentile at the antimonotelita Council of Carthage (646).
Cubda survives today as a titular bishopric of the Roman Catholic Church,[6] and the current bishop is Efraín Mendoza Cruz, of Mexico, who replaced José María Izuzquiza Herranz in 2011.
