List_of_Patriarchs_of_Antioch_before_518
The Patriarch of Antioch was the head of the Church of Antioch. According to tradition, the bishopric of Antioch was established by Saint Peter in the 1st century AD and was later elevated to the status of patriarchate by the First Council of Nicaea in 325.[1] The church first underwent schism after the deposition of Eustathius in 330 over the issue of the Arian controversy and persisted until its resolution in 414.[2]
After the Council of Chalcedon of 451, the church suffered division until the deposition of Patriarch Severus of Antioch in 518 resulted in a permanent schism from which two separate lines of patriarchs emerged. The Non-Chalcedonian supporters of Severus went on to form what is now known as the Syriac Orthodox Church, whilst the Chalcedonians developed the church now known as the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch.

Notes
- Evodius' accession is placed in AD 41 by the Chronicle of John Malalas, in AD 44 by Jerome's Chronicle, and AD 45/46 by the Armenian version of Eusebius' Chronicle.[6] However, modern historians place Evodius' accession in c. 53,[7][8] or c. 54.[9] The end of Evodius' episcopate is placed either in c. 68 as per Jerome's Chronicle,[8] or in c. 83.[9]
- Ignatius' episcopate is placed either in c. 68–c. 107 as per Jerome's Chronicle, or in c. 83–115 from the Chronicle of John Malalas.[10]
- Heron I's accession is placed either in c. 107 as per Jerome's Chronicle,[8] or in 116 from the Chronicle of John Malalas.[11]
- The end of Theophilus' episcopate is placed in 177 by Eusebius' Chronicle, whereas others give 182,[8] or c. 188 as per Sextus Julius Africanus.[12]
