A native of Dekapolis, Gregorios 165 was the (unnamed) teacher of Ioannes 460 and is said to have attended the Seventh Ecumenical Council (the Second Council of Nikaia) with him in 787; shortly afterwards he was appointed as archimandrites and hegoumenos of the monastery of Dalmatos at Constantinople: Synax. Eccl. Const. 631/632, 45ff.
Gregorios 165's attendance at Nikaia cannot be confirmed from the Acts of the Council as his title is unknown and he could be identical with any of the many people there called Gregorios.
According to the Vita Hilarionis Dalmat., p. 19, he was called Gregorios; he was archimandrites and hegoumenos of the monastery of Dalmatos; in 788/789 he conferred the tonsure on Hilarion 1 (then in the monastery of Xerokepion) and took him to the Dalmatos monastery: Vita Hilarionis Dalmat., pp. 18-19.
Gregorios 165 was the (unnamed) hegoumenos (ἡγούμενος) of the monastery of Dalmatos at Constantinople, who in 806 ordained one of his monks, Hilarion 1, as a priest; shortly afterwards he died and was eventually succeeded as hegoumenos by Hilarion 1: Synax. Eccl. Const. 731-734 (BHG 2177b). (This entry was formerly Anonymus 676)
