In this contribution dedicated to the memory of Mons. Joseph Nasrallah, who always remained attached to his land of origin, we collect for the utility of the students the epigrafic discoveries that permitted us the updating of the episcopal lists of the dioceses of the four provinces during the bizantine period (Arabia Province and the three Palaestinae Provinces), limiting the research to the transjordan territory. We take as a base for this updating the book of R. Devreesse dated from the year 1945, and the historical-archaeological work of our archaeological mission in Jordan. The discoveries regard the Vth to the VIIIth centuries except the inscription of a bishop of Zoara in the valley of Araba dated from the IVth century.
