CHOREPISCOPUS is also the name of a dignity still subsisting in some cathedrals, particularly in Germany; signifying the same with chori episcopus, or "bishop of the choir." The word, in this sense, does not come from χώρα, place, but χώρα, choir, &c. In the church of Cologne, &c. the first chanter is called chorepiscopus.
