David 2 was deacon of the church of Bosporos in the Tauric Chersonese; in 681, acting as representative of his bishop Andreas 12, he subscribed the statement of the faith condemning monotheletism, which was produced by the Third Council of Constantinople (the Sixth Ecumenical Council); neither he nor Andreas is attested as present at any of the eighteen sessions of the council but their signature appears among a group of nine bishops at the end of the list of subscriptions; the text reads: Δαυὶδ ἐλάχιστος διάκονος τῆς ἐν Βοσπόρῳ ἁγιωτάτης ἐκκλησίας καὶ τὸν τόπον ἐπέχων Ἀνδρέου τοῦ ὁσιωτάτου μου ἐπισκόπου ὑπέγραψα: Riedinger, p. 796, line 20 (= Mansi XI 653). The old Latin version printed in Riedinger, p. 797, line 20, calls him "misericordia dei diaconus sanctissimae ecclesiae, quae est in Uosporo, et locum exhibens Andreae uenerabilis episcopi mei".
