Markellos 3 was bishop of Mattiana in Africa Proconsularis; probably in 645/646 he subscribed the letter sent from the bishops of Proconsularis to the patriarch of Constantinople, Paulos 2, urging him to abandon the monothelete heresy; the letter was read out at the Lateran Council in October 649; in the list of signatures his name appears third: Conc. Lat., p. 90, line 33 (Μάρκελλος ἐπίσκοπος Ματτιανῆς), p. 91, line 33 ("Marcellus gratia dei episcopus sanctae ecclesiae Mattianensis"), cf. p. 80, lines 10-11 (Γόλουσος καὶ Πρόβος καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ πάντες ἐπίσκοποι τῆς ἁγίας συνόδου Προκονσουλαρίας), p. 81, lines 9-10 ("Gulosus, Probus et ceteri episcopi sancti concilii Proconsolaris").
