Ignatios 5 was the founder and hegoumenos of the monastery of Herakleios at Kios in Bithynia; an iconophile, he went into exile during an iconoclast persecution (probably under Theophilos 5); he took refuge near the Leukos Potamos and there he died; later his corpse was restored to his monastery (after the Triumph of Orthodoxy in 843) and worked miraculous cures: Vita Anton. Iun. (BHG 142 Addit.) 1, cf. Vita Anton. Iun. 2, 3-8 (he was hegoumenos when Antonios 12 entered the monastery, and admitted him only after testing him severely).
