This is the patriarch of Alexandria so famous in ecclesiastical history

for his opposition to Arius whom, with St. Athanasius and Marcellus of

Ancyra, as his especial colleagues, he resisted at the council of Nice,

issued denouncing death to any who secreted them. On the death of St.

Alexander in 420, St. Athanasius succeeded to his patriarchal chair.
