Andreas 6 was bishop of Ostia in 680; he was one of the hundred and twenty-five Western bishops who attended the Council of Rome at Easter 680, and who subscribed the decree condemning monotheletism: Riedinger II 2. 140, lines 8-10 (= Mansi XI 298-299) (Ἀνδρέας ἐλάχιστος ἐπίσκοπος τῆς ἁγίας ἐν τῇ Ὄστῃ ἐκκλησίας; he signed immediately after pope Agatho 1, ahead of all the other bishops). He was still bishop in 682 when he was one of the three bishops who, because the see of Albanum was vacant, consecrated the new bishop of Rome, Leo II (Leo 16): Lib. Pont. 82. 7 (the other two were Ioannes of Portus and Placentinus of Velitrae; see Ioannes 21 and Plakentios 1). The same three bishops also consecrated pope John V (Ioannes 31) in 685: Lib. Pont. 84. 3 (their names are not here recorded, only their sees, which may therefore have now been occupied by different men).
