3) Pope Saint Anicetus: Emesa (today known as Homs), Syria (155 -166)

5) Pope Saint Miltiades: Somewhere in North Africa (311 - 314)
6) Pope Theodore I: Jerusalem, modern-day Israel and West Bank (642 -649)
7) Pope John V: Antioch, then Syria but today part of Turkey (685 -686)
8) Pope Sisinnius: Syria (708)
9) Pope Constantine: Syria (708 - 715)
10) Pope Gregory III: Syria (731 -741)

There could be others. While Francis was born and raised in Argentina, he is actually a European as his parents were from Italy.
