* Nectarius succeeds Gregory Nazianzus as Archbishop of Constantinople.

* Nectarius, archbishop of Constantinople

The resignation of Gregory, who was succeeded in the patriarchate of Constantinople by Nectarius, did not benefit Maximus.

A letter of Ambrose and his brother-prelates to Theodosius remonstrates against the acts of Nectarius as no rightful bishop, since the chair of Constantinople belonged to Maximus, whose restoration they demanded, as well as that a general council of Easterns and Westerns, to settle the disputed episcopate and that of Antioch, should be held at Rome.

Nectarius ( died 397 or 398 ) was the archbishop of Constantinople from AD 381 until his death, the successor to Saint Gregory Nazianzus.

When Gregory resigned, Nectarius was praetor of Constantinople.

Preparing for a journey to Tarsus, he called on the Bishop of Tarsus, Diodore, who was attending the First Council of Constantinople ( one of the ecumenical councils ), to ask if he could take letters for him ; his appearance and manners struck Diodorus so forcibly that he at once determined that he should be advanced as a candidate for Bishop ; making an excuse of attending to some other business, he took Nectarius to see the bishop of Antioch, who asked Nectarius to put off his journey a short time.
