archbishop of CRETE, was a native of Damascus. He was first a monk at Jerusalem, whence he is called in some ancient writings " of Jerusalem" (Ἱεροσολυμίτης, ὁ Ἱεροσολύμων), then a deacon at Constantinople, and lastly archbishop of Crete. His time is rather doubtful, but Cave has shewn that he probably flourished as early as A. D. 635. (Hist. Lit. sub ann.) In 680 he was sent by Theodorus, the patriarch of Jerusalem, to the 6th council of Constantinople, against the Monothelites, where he was ordained a deacon.
