Marcus of Jerusalem

Mark or Mahalia, sixteenth bishop of Jerusalem (served 135 – died 156) was the first non-Jewish bishop of Jerusalem, renamed as Aelia Capitolina. His secretary was traditionally thought to have been Aristo Pellaeus, though the Armenian chronicler Moses of Chorene's evidence for this is scanty, late (7th Century) and ambiguous.[1]
