Benenatos 2 was bishop of Opitergium in Istria; 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, p. 154, lines 27-29 (= Mansi XI 311-312) (Βενενάτος ἐλάχιστος ἐπίσκοπος τῆς ἁγίας ἐκκλησίας Ὀπετέργιρε ἐπαρχίας Ἰστρίας); the old Latin version printed in Riedinger calls him "Benenatus episcopus sanctae ecclesiae Opotergensis prouinciae Istriae").
