Georgios 289 was a monk, priest and topoteretes of the patriarch of Jerusalem, Elias 12, at the Second Council of Nikaia (the Seventh Ecumenical Council) in 787: Georg. Mon., p. 769, lines 16-19 (Ἰωάννης, Γεώργιος καὶ Θωμᾶς μοναχοὶ πρεσβύτεροι καὶ τοποτηρηταὶ τῶν ἀποστολικῶν θρόνων τῆς ἀνατολικῆς διοικησέως, τοῦ τε Πολιτιανοῦ Ἀλεξανδρείας καὶ Θεοδωρήτου Ἀντιοχείας καὶ Ἡλία Ἱεροσολύμων). He is not recorded in the Acta of the Council. Ioannes 15 and Thomas 4 were respectively representatives of the sees of Antioch and Alexandria and are attested at the Council. Other sources identify the representative of Elias 12 as Ioannes 15.
Georgios 289 was later patriarch of Jerusalem; he is said to have become patriarch of Jerusalem in the twentieth year of al-Mansur 1 (i.e. in c. 774/775) and to have remained in office for thirty-six years until his death: Eutychius Alex. 1125D. He was the synkellos of Elias 12 and his successor: see Vita Stephani Sabaitae (AASS, July III, 504-584), 49, p. 524B.
