Ioannes 131 was hegoumenos of the monastery of the Soter; in 787 he attended the Second Council of Nikaia (the Seventh Ecumenical Council) and is attested at the fourth session, on 1 October 787, when he subscribed the statements read out from the Fathers in support of the veneration of icons: Mansi XIII 153 (Ἰωάννης ἡγούμενος τοῦ Σωτῆρος; the Latin version, on 154, calls him "Ioannes hegumenus sancti Salvatoris"). He probably attended other sessions of the Council also; see Gregorios 45.
