https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_Papacy

Of the thirteen popes from 678 to 752, only Benedict II and Gregory II were native Romans; all others were Greek-speaking, and came from Greece, Syria, or Byzantine Sicily. Many popes of this period had previously served as papal apocrisiaries (emissaries of the Patriarch) in Constantinople. The series of popes from John V to Zacharias (685-752) is sometimes called the "Byzantine Captivity" because only one pope of this period, Gregory II, was not of "Eastern" origin .
