WHAT DOES EXARCH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Exarch

In the Byzantine Empire, an exarch was a governor with extended authority over a province at some distance from the capital Constantinople. The prevailing situation frequently involved him in military operations. In the Eastern Christian Churches, the term exarch has two distinct uses: the deputy of a patriarch, or a bishop who holds authority over other bishops without being a patriarch; or, a bishop appointed over a group of the faithful not yet large enough or organized enough to be constituted an eparchy/diocese.

Definition of exarch in the English dictionary

The first definition of exarch in the dictionary is the head of certain autonomous Orthodox Christian Churches, such as that of Bulgaria and Cyprus. Other definition of exarch is any of certain Eastern Orthodox bishops, lower in rank than a patriarch but higher than a metropolitan. Exarch is also the governor of a province in the Byzantine Empire.
