Arsenius of Constantinople (Latinised as Arsenius Autorianus; Greek: Ἀρσένιος Αὐτωρειανός; c. 1200 – 30 September 1273), Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, lived about the middle of the 13th century.
Born in Constantinople c. 1200, Arsenius received his education in Nicaea at a monastery of which he later became the abbot, though not in orders. Subsequently, he gave himself up to a life of solitary asceticism in a Bithynian monastery and is said to have remained some time in a monastery on Mount Athos.
