Alexandros 1 was bishop of Nakoleia in Phrygia Salutaris; in 681 he attended the Third Council of Constantinople (the Sixth Ecumenical Council) and was present at the last eight sessions (sessions eleven to eighteen, from 20 March to 16 September): Riedinger, pp. 406-827 (= Mansi XI 460-678). In the subscriptions to the statement of the faith, which condemned monotheletism, and to the Council, he is styled Ἀλέξανδρος ἐλέει Θεοῦ (so p. 794; p. 827 reads: ἀνάξιος) ἐπίσκοπος Νακωλείας. The old Latin version printed in Riedinger at p. 795 calls his see "ciuitatis Nacoliae". In the lists of those attending each session he is styled Ἀλεξάνδρου ἐπισκόπου Νακωλείας: Riedinger, p. 406, line 24, p. 520, line 13, etc. (= Mansi XI 460, 521, etc.). Still bishop in 692, Alexandros 1 attended the Quinisext Council in Constantinople and signed the canons: Ohme, Bischofsliste, p. 165, no. 182 (= Mansi XI 1001) (Ἀλέξανδρος ἀνάξιος ἐπίσκοπος τῆς Νακολέων πόλεως τῆς Σαλουταρίων ἐπαρχίας).
