Plutarch

Saint Plutarch was archbishop of Constantia in Cyprus at the end of the sixth century and the beginning of the seventh. He shepherded between the years 590 and 625-626 and is thirteenth in the list of archbishops of Cyprus.

He is not mentioned in the synaxaria, but the chronicler Leontios Machairas, as well as the chronicles of Strambaldi and Florio Bustron, count him among the saints of Cyprus. He is also known from inscriptions related to the construction of parts of the aqueduct of Constantia, in which he appears as builder: he raised three arches in 620, further arches in 621 and fifteen in 625. This shows that the saint cared not only for the spiritual needs of his flock but also for the material ones, in collaboration with the imperial power. He loved his flock sacrificially and was loved by it. His end was peaceful.

He is commemorated on 5 June, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style). His veneration is local, in Cyprus. One calendar commemorates him on the same day as a martyr, together with Serinus.
