Arsacius
Arsacius was brother of the archbishop of Constantinoupolis Nectarius.
He was a native of Tarsus in Kikilia, and was elected to the
patriarchal see immediately after the second exile of St John

immediate acceptance, because the supporters of St John Chrystostom

an archbishop during this wild period for a short term.
The Church honoured him as a Saint; his memory is kept on the 11st of October.
