Euthymios 2 was a hegoumenos (ἡγούμενος); he was persecuted by the patriarch Photios 1 and with a fellow hegoumenos and sufferer, Ioseph 5, visited the hesychast and monk Ioannes 94, who comforted and strengthened them: Ps.-Symeon 672. The story is one of several in a narrative very hostile to Photios 1. The names perhaps arouse suspicion because both recur among subjects of biographies by the sixth-century Cyril of Scythopolis, viz. John the Hesychast and Euthymios.
