Church use
Migirpa was also the seat of an ancient Christian diocese,[4][5] an episcopal see, suffragan of the Archdiocese of Carthage.[6] The Diocese of Migirpa (in Latin Rite Migirpensis) is a home suppressed and titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[7] There were five bishops documented in late antiquity at Migirpa and four in the 21st century.
- Felix of Migirpa,(also called Prime) took part in the Council of Carthage (256) by St. Cyprian to discuss the question of the lapsi.[8][9]
- Tutus participated in the Council of Carthage (397).
- Victor or Vittore, the Catholic representative at the Council of Carthage (411).[10]
- Glorius the Donatist representative at the Council of Carthage (411).[11]
