Eph., EH 4.11. He was the successor of Theodosius, who had died in 566, and his tenure lasted for only two years. In Joh. Eph., EH 4.12 and 16, he is credited with the ordination of over 70 new bishops. His patriarchate was thus a decisive point for the formation of the independent Egyptian miaphysite (Coptic) church. 575-577 male 49; 191; 193; 195; 196; 198; 199; 201; 203; 204; 205; 221; 222; 232; 260 3.1.40; 3.4.11; 3.4.12; 3.4.13; 3.4.14; 3.4.15; 3.4.16; 3.4.17; 3.4.18; 3.4.41; 3.4.48; 3.5.9 167-169 49; 191; 193; 195; 196; 198; 199; 201; 203; 204; 205; 221; 222; 232; 260 188
