He had been ecumenically proceeded by Patriarch Anastasius of Constantinople.[1] He was a supporter of the first phase of Byzantine Iconoclasm and devoutly opposed to the creation of images,[2] but he was deposed and jailed after the discovery of Constantine Podopagouros' plot against the Emperor Constantine V[3] in June 766, in which the patriarch was later implicated.
