(1) The see of Gabio or Gabii, in the province of Rome, was a diocese since the 5th century. Pius Bonfatius Gams, Series Episcoporum Ecclesiæ Catholicæ, cites only 10 bishops of this see from 465 until 879. It should not properly be considered a cardinalitial suburbicarian see even though two of its bishops subscribed the bulls like the other cardinals. It was united to the suburbicarian see of Palestrina at the end of the XII century.
