In 787 Anonymus 69 represented the bishop of Nikopolis Ano, in Phrygia, at the second session of the Second Council of Nikaia (the Seventh Ecumenical Council), on 26 September 787; his name is lost in a lacuna in the text, which reads: ... καὶ τοποτηρητὴς Νικοπόλεως: Mansi XII 1110 (the Latin version, at XII 1109, reads: "... vicarius Nicopoleos"). For the identity of this see with the Nikopolis in Phrygia, not with the cities of that name in Epirus Vetus or Armenia Magna, see Gregorios 24. At the second session he supported the traditional veneration of icons as described in statements from pope Hadrian I (Hadrianos 1), and condemned iconoclasts: Mansi XII 1110.
