Lists of those participants at the council who subscribed to the creed have survived in Latin, Greek, Coptic, Syriac, Armenian and Arabic. A comprehensive study of all the lists was published by H. Gelzer at the end of the nineteenth century, and a thorough study of the Latin lists appeared several decades later by C.H. Turner.[1] While the original list must have been in Greek, the oldest of the surviving lists are those in Latin. All the lists also suffer from the garbling of place names unknown to later copyists. With the help of the Pleiades database of ancient place names, some improvements can be made on the work of Turner and Gelzer. The list below also benefits from the unpublished studies of bishop lists and dioceses shard by David Wilmshurst. As a result, we have the following list of names. In general, we have retained the spelling of place names used by Pleiades and have not attempted to standardize them in either a Latin or Greek transliteration.
