Coptic Orthodox Church

Communion · no year is recorded

The church of Alexandria that did not receive Chalcedon, whose succession this dataset holds as the Alexandria line and whose own history of it runs one life per patriarch from Mark. It keeps the Alexandrian Rite and counts its years from the accession of Diocletian, the era of the Martyrs.

No year is recorded anywhere. The era is fixed by Dioscorus I of Alexandria (454), whom the source names — that is not a founding date.
