Life
Neophytus was appointed Metropolitan of Heraclea on 15 May 1689.{{r|Kiminas|page1=174}} The bishops and the laity{{r|Gedeon}} elected him as Patriarch of Constantinople on 20 October 1707.{{r|Kiminas|page1=40}} He was not confirmed however by the Ottoman Sultan, who reserved the right, as previously the Byzantine Emperor, to confirm the election. Thus, in five days, Neophytus V was deposed and he remained Metropolitan of Heraclea until 1711, the probable year of his death.{{r|Kiminas|page1=40}}
