Georgios 74 was a priest. In 787 he attended the Second Council of Nikaia (the Seventh Ecumenical Council), where he represented the (unnamed) bishop of Nazianzos (Γεώργιος ἀνάξιος πρεσβύτερος, καὶ ἐκ προσώπου τοῦ θρόνου Ναζιαρζοῦ); he is attested at the fourth session, on 1 October 787, at which he subscribed the statements read out from the Fathers in support of the veneration of icons: Mansi XIII 136.
