Of this ancient diocese there are only three bishops known.[3] Serapione took part in the first Council of Nicea in 325. Menas attended the council of Alexandria convened by Patriarch Sant'Atanasio in 362. Apollo signed the letter of the bishops of Egypt to Emperor Leo (458) following the killing of the Alexandrian patriarch Proterius; and also subscribed to the decree of Genadius of Constantinople against the simons in 459.
Today Antifre survives as a bishopric holder; the seat is vacant since September 15, 1965.[4]
