Before his election as Ecumenical Patriarch on 18 August 1834, he had been Metropolitan bishop of Veliko Tarnovo. He wasn't particularly educated, nor did he have administrative skills. So, the next year he had to resign. He retired to Arnavutköy on the Bosphorus, where he died on 17 June 1859. He was buried in the forecourt of the Holy Church of Asomatoi in Arnavutköy.
