Life

Holy Hieromartyr Arsenius was a patriarch of Alexandria who was put to death, as the surviving notice about him indicates.

He is unknown to the usual synaxaria. His commemoration on this day appears in a manuscript kept in the National Library of France (Coislin 402), with the words: on the same day, the slaughter of Arsenius, patriarch of Alexandria. The Greek calendar (new style) commemorates him on 11 July, together with the presbyter Kindeus. An online synaxarion notes that his existence and the date of his feast are not confirmed by other sources.
