Also known as: Greek: Σισίννιος Β΄; Patriarch Sisinnius II, Sisinnios II, Sisinnius II of Constantinople

SISINNIUS II. - He was patriarch of Constantinople (996-998). Two synodal acts concerning marriage legislation and one concerning the metropolitan Nicholas of Alania are preserved from him. According to V. Grumel, he would not have re-promulgated the encyclical of Photius against the Filioque; but according to Michel (Byzantinische Zeitschrift, 28 [1938], pp. 454-56), this doubt would not be justified in the light of a Moscow manuscript.
