Baanes 3 was hegoumenos and archimandrite of the monastery of Thermai; in 787 he attended the Second Council of Nikaia (the Seventh Ecumenical Council) and is attested at the fourth session, on 1 October, when he subscribed the statements read out from the Fathers in support of the veneration of icons: Mansi XIII 152 (Βαάνης ἡγούμενος καὶ ἀρχιμανδρίτης τῶν Θερμῶν; the Latin version, at 151, calls him "Bahanes hegumenus et archimandrita Thermarum"). He probably attended other sessions of the Council also; see Gregorios 45.
