Antonios 2 was bishop of Hypaepa in Asiana; he attended the Third Council of Constantinople (the Sixth Ecumenical Council) in 680 and 681 and was present at all eighteen sessions: Riedinger, pp. 18-830 (= Mansi XI 212-677). In the subscriptions to the statement of the faith, which condemned monotheletism, he is styled Ἀντώνιος ἐλέει Θεοῦ ἐπίσκοπος τῆς Ὑπαιπηνῶν πόλεως τῆς Ἀσιανῶν ἐπαρχίας: Riedinger, p. 788, line 7 (= Mansi XI 648). In the subscriptions to the Council he is styled Ἀντώνιος ἐλέει Θεοῦ ἐπίσκοπος Ὑπαίπων Ἀσίας: Riedinger, p. 827, line 17 (= Mansi XI 677). The old Latin version in Riedinger (p. 789, line 7) calls his see\n "Hypeporum ciuitatis Asiane regionis". In the lists of those attending each session he is styled Ἀντωνίου ἐπισκόπου Ὑπαίπων: Riedinger, p. 18, line 3, p. 30, line 5, etc. (= Mansi XI 212, 220, etc.) (his name has fallen out from the Greek list of those attending the ninth session but is extant in the Latin version in Mansi: Mansi XI 379). At the eighth session (7 March 681) he is one of those named by Theodoros 26 as jointly responsible with him for a statement noting that none of the previous Ecumenical Councils had ruled on the doctrine of One or Two Wills; he denied all knowledge of the document, but they were all ordered to produce in due course written statements of faith: Riedinger, pp. 204-208 (= Mansi XI 340-345). They were absent from the opening of the ninth session (the Latin list in Mansi of those present is therefore misleading, see above) but were admitted shortly afterwards; they all declared their readiness to present prepared statements on the faith at the next session: Riedinger, p. 268, line 2, p. 276, line 8 (= Mansi XI 381, 385). At the tenth session their statements, all identical, were read out: Riedinger, pp. 386-396 (= Mansi XI 449-455). Still bishop of Hypaepa in 692, he attended the Quinisext Council at Constantinople and signed the canons: Ohme, Bischofsliste, p. 153, no. 74 (= Mansi XI 993) (Ἀντώνιος ἀνάξιος ἐπίσκοπος Ψ̔παίπων τῆς Ἀσιανῶν ἐπαρχίας).
