The Ecumenical Patriarchate of Arciluco (Amathian: Ⱂⰰⱅⱃⰹⰰⱃⱍⰹⰰ Ⰵⰽⱆⰿⰵⱀⰹⰽⱐ ⰴⰵ Ⰰⱃⰽⰹⰾⱆⰽⱁ, tr. Patriarhia Ecumenică de Arciluco; Piraean: Οἰκουμενικόν Πατριαρχεῖον ᾽Αρκιλυκος, tr. Oikoumenikón Patriarkhíon Arkilukon) is an Amathian rite Epismialist church, one of the autocephalous churches of the larger communion of the Western Epismialist Church. Its origins are tied to the creation and early development of Episimialism, and its history left it with a jurisdiction that includes Amathia and the autonomous Metropolinate of Piraea.
