Jerusalem
About this date: The map's approximate 30 cue refers to the apostolic period, not the foundation of Jerusalem. Acts 15 is commonly placed around 48-49, but Acts supplies no calendar year. Nicaea I, canon 7, preserves Jerusalem's honor while protecting the metropolis's rights; it does not describe a fully formed five-patriarch system.
A shared biblical starting point, not a claim that the modern patriarchate is Oriental.
