Daniel 3 was hegoumenos of the monastery of the Hagioi Apostoloi of Magnesia; in 787 he attended the Second Council of Nikaia (the Seventh Ecumenical Council) and is attested at the fourth session, on 1 October 787, when he subscribed the statements read out from the Fathers in support of the veneration of icons: Mansi XIII 153 (Δανιὴλ ἡγούμενος τῶν ἁγίων ἀποστόλων Μαγνησίας; the Latin version, at XIII 154, calls him "Daniel hegumenus sanctorum apostolorum Magnesiae" but a marginal note gives his name as "Gabriel"). He probably attended other sessions of the Council also; see Gregorios 45.
