Ignatios 10 was a holy man (Ἰγνάτιόν τινα θεοφόρον ἄνδρα), living on or near Kalon Oros (in Lydia); he met the monk and cleric Anonymus 194 and ordained him as priest (or perhaps bishop): Theoph. Cont. III 12 (p. 102). He must therefore have been himself a bishop, probably one of the iconophile bishops who gave up their sees to live as monks. The date was under or soon after the reign of the emperor Theophilos (Theophilos 5). Perhaps identical with Ignatios 5, Ignatios 6 or Ignatios 9.
