THE LIST OF ALEXANDRIAN POPES WHO ACTUALLY PRESIDED OVER THE THRONE OF ST MARK IN THE MARTYRIUM OF THE BOUCOLIA

Mythical Popes (undoubtedly mythical)

1) Mark the Evangelist (38?)
2) Anianus
3) Avilius
4) Kedron
5) Primus
6) Justus ?
7) Eumenes
8) Markianos
9) Celadion
10) Agrippinus
11) Julian (c 178)?

Most scholars insert Demetrius here but I will argue that he never took on the title of Papa and instead that was held by the head of the Catechetical School so we instead construct a list of those office holders in the period:

12)Clement (c. 180 - 203)
13)Origen (203 - c. 232)
14)Heraclas (c. 232 - 248)
15)Dionysius (247 - ?) 271 based on Severus of Al'Ashmunein or 282?
16) Theognostes/Theonas/Theodore (282 - 300?)
17) Pierius (300 - ?)
18) Meletius (310 - ?)
19) Achillas (311 - ?)
20) Arius (313 - 336)
21) Gregory (336 - 345)
22) George (?345 - 361)
23) Lucius (361 - 384?)
