Tetci
The diocese of Tetci (in Latin: Dioecesis Tetcitana) is a suppressed and titular See of the [{Roman Catholic Church]]. Tetci is in today's Tunisia. [1][2]
Tecti was an ancient bishopric of the Roman province of Byzacena.[3] [4]
The only known bishop of this African diocese is Rustico, who took part in the synod assembled in Carthage by the Arian King Huneric the Vandal in 484, after which Rustico was exiled. Three years later a council called by Pope Felix III(487) had a African bishop named Rustico participate, but without mentioning the place of residence; May be the bishop of Tetci or the bishop of Tipasa of Numidia.[5]
Today Tetci survives as a titular bishopric with the current bishop, Luis Fernando Ramos Pérez, auxiliary bishop of Santiago de Chile.
