Ioannes 92 was koubikoularios; he is recorded in a possibly fictional story about Methodios 1; when the emperor Theophilos 5 was unable to find anyone able to interpret an obscure writing found in the palace library, Ioannes 92 suggested Methodios 1, who was then in exile on the island of Antigonos; he took the document to him, Methodios 1 explained it and was consequently recalled to Constantinople: Ps.-Symeon 644-645. On this anecdote, cf. Adontz, Byz 9 (1934), p. 234. See also Ioannes 5.
