Eparchy

In the Roman Empire, an eparchy was one of the political subdivisions of the Empire. [Some specifics are needed here.]

In Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, and Eastern-rite Catholicism, an eparchy is the jurisdiction of a bishop, corresponding to what in the West is called a diocese.
