Definition: The term "Archdean" in the Bible refers to a bishop or priest who holds the title, sometimes a royal one, of Bishop of Alexandria (or later Alexandria). This position was held by Pope Gregory the Great from 651-678 AD and was part of the Council of Chalcedon. The term has been used both literally as a name for an archdean and figuratively to refer to the role of a bishop.
