Georgios 60 was bishop of Basilinopolis in Bithynia; in 787 he attended the Second Council of Nikaia (the Seventh Ecumenical Council) and was probably present at all eight sessions, from 24 September to 23 November 787: Mansi XII 995-XIII 486. In the lists of those present at the first and seventh sessions he is styled Γεωργίου ἐπισκόπου Βασιλινουπόλεως: Mansi XII 995 (Βασινουπόλεως - sic), XIII 369. Elsewhere he is styled Γεώργιος ὁ ὁσιώτατος ἐπίσκοπος Βασιλινουπόλεως or similar: Mansi XII 1103 (Βασινουπόλεως - sic), XIII 145 (the Latin version, at 146, calls him "Gregorius"), XIII 389. At the second session he supported the traditional veneration of icons as described in statements from pope Hadrian I (Hadrianos 1) and condemned iconoclasts: Mansi XII 1103. At the fourth session he subscribed the statements read out from the Fathers in support of the veneration of icons: Mansi XIII 145. At the seventh session he subscribed the statement of the faith adopted by the Council: Mansi XIII 389.
