Gregorios 25 was the son of Philemon 1; on the morning after the murder of the emperor Michael III (Michael 11) (24 September 867) Gregorios 25 was appointed to the position of papias by the emperor Basil I (Basilios 7) (τῇ ἕωθεν Γρηγόριον λεγόμενον τὸν Φιλήμονος ἐποίησε παπίαν, or similar): Leo Gramm. 252, Georg. Mon. Cont. 838, Ps.-Symeon 686. The post was normally held by eunuchs; see Oikonomides, Listes, p. 306. On his patronymic, see Winkelmann, Quellenstudien, p. 174. His post was apparently at the palace of Marina (see Anonymus 48).
