The lists are only the same until 460 when the Coptic Church split from the Greek Orthodox Church Efghij
It would be nice to have a piece of explanation in the article. olivier 08:22 26 May 2003 (UTC)

Coadjutors edit

Why is ther a sudden gap in dates from Theodore II to Theophylactus (inclusive)? These men are listed as "coadjutor", with no dates given. What happened to the See at this time? SigPig 06:42, 20 January 2006 (UTC) did.Reply


This list is incomplete. there are 128 greek orthodox patriarchs of Alexandria.http://orthodoxwiki.org/List_of_Patriarchs_of_Alexandria I think this list is more accurate because I know for sure that the number of Greek Orthodox Patriarchs of Alexandria are more than the Coptic Popes — Preceding unsigned comment added by MichaelFayez (talkcontribs) 22:19, 6 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Who should and shouldn't be on this list edit

1. There is already a page for Patriarchs prior to Council of Chalcedon in 451 to avoid dispute

2. The Church of Alexandria is generally considered Non-Chalcedonian as Chalcedon Patriarchs were "installed in opposition"

3. Greek Orthodox Patriarchs cannot include Non-Chalcedonian Patriarchs such as Dioscorus I and any after 451 listed as Coptic Orthodox or Non-Chalcedonian

The List of Coptic Orthodox Popes of Alexandria includes all Patriarchs of Alexandria prior to Chalcedon, who are claimed by both the Chalcedonian and Non-Chalcedonian factions. So this list should include them as well. In fact, it's not even a dispute, really, it's a matter of agreement: both factions agree that those were the legitimate Patriarchs of Alexandria prior to the schism. The dispute is about the post-Chalcedon succession. Ohff (talk) 10:20, 29 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
