From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paulus (Bishop of Alexandretta, fl. 518) was a 6th-century Bishop of Alexandria Minor or Alexandretta in modern Turkey.[1]

Paulus was a Monophysite, so a christologic heretic from the Catholic and orthodox point of view.[2] Paulus, was deposed by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian around 518AD.[3][4] along with many other bishops of the area.
