Galatios 2 was a priest; in 787 he attended the Second Council of Nikaia (the Seventh Ecumenical Council) and is attested at the second session, where he represented the bishop of Regium (Bruttium) (Konstantinos 35); he spoke in support of the traditional veneration of icons as described in statements from pope Hadrian I (Hadrianos 1) and condemned iconoclasts: Mansi XII 1098 (Γαλάτιος πρεσβύτερος καὶ ἐκ προσώπου τοῦ ὁσιώτατου ἐπισκόπου τοῦ Ῥηγίου; the Latin version (Mansi XII 1097) calls him "Galata presbyter et ex persona sanctissimi episcopi Rhegii").
