Menelphalus was a 5th-century metropolitan archbishop of Aix. He seems to have followed Maximus or Maxime, who served in 419 when Pope Boniface ordered him and other bishops to investigate another Maximus, the bishop of Valence, for the charges of Manichean heresy. This means Menelphalus likely served as bishop in the 420s, and he is given the floruit of 420 or 425. Duchene questioned the 5th-century date entirely as an arbitrary decision as the only reference he could find to the saint was from the 9th-10 centuries, however the necropolis from which Menelphalus was moved appears to be from Late Antiquity, and the see of Aix was only established or restored in the 5th century, so Menelphalus is likely to have served between the death of Maximus and the accession of Basilius. It should also be noted that St. Basilius constructed the Cathedral of Aix around 500AD and future archbishops were buried there, whereas Menelphalus was buried in the Old Chapel of St. Lawrence. Additionally, Armentarius is an uncommon name, so for it to appear in Menelphalus' reliquary plaque as well being the name of a 5th-century chorbishop of the nearby Embrun led some to believe that St. Armentarius of Embrun was Menelphalus' successor, given that Menelphalus' name appears to have precedence over him. On the other hand, Joseph Hyacinthe Albanés felt certain that the venerated saint Menelphalus would not have been involved in the illegal consecration of Armentarius over Embrun, which caused much controversy at the time, making Albanés date Menelphalus towards the end of the 5th century.
