Catenna
Cotenna or Kotenna () was a city in the Roman province of Pamphylia I in Asia Minor. It corresponds to modern Gödene (Menteşbey), near Antalya/Turkey. Name Strabo (Geography, 12.7.1) mentions the Katenneis () in Pisidia adjoining Selge and the tribe of Homonades () east and north of Trogitis ( Lake Suğla). An inscription has been found showing that the people called themselves Kotenneis, so that the true name of the town was Kotenna/Cotenna. Hierocles mentions it instead as Kotana in Pamphylia. It appears as Kotaina in some ''Notitiae episcopatuum''. It has been said that the Kotenneis are the same as the Etenneis (), mentioned by Polybius (V, 73) as living in Pisidia above Side, and who struck coins in the Roman times. The native name may have been Hetenneis, and the tribe afterwards divided into at least two districts, the northern taking the name Etenneis, while the southern preferred Kotenneis.

Vicariate Apostolic Of Baie James
A vicar (; Latin: ''vicarius'') is a representative, deputy or substitute; anyone acting "in the person of" or agent for a superior (compare "vicarious" in the sense of "at second hand").

In addition, in the Holy Roman Empire, a local representative of the emperor, such as an archduke, could be styled "vicar".
