Anastasius the Sinaite was the Greek Patriarch of Antioch twice (561 - 571 and 593 - 599). He was a friend of Pope Gregory I, and strongly opposed Justinian’s later church policy, which favored the Aphthartodocetae. He was banished in 570 by Justin II, recalled in 593 by Maurice, and was killed by a Jewish mob^[1] in 599. His feast day is 21 April.
