Eustratios of Antioch

tenth-century Patriarch of Antioch

71st Patriarch of Antioch (Greek line)

Offices

Eustratios was briefly Patriarch of Antioch in late 969. Appointed by Emperor Nikephoros II Phokas, Eustratios never formally assumed office or traveled to his see due to the emperor's assassination. He is a largely obscure figure in ecclesiastical history, omitted from most traditional patriarchal lists, and is known primarily through the late 12th-century text De translationibus episcoporum.
