Ioannes 134 was a monk of the monastery of the Hagia Theotokos; in 787 he attended the Second Council of Nikaia (the Seventh Ecumenical Council) as representative of his hegoumenos, Strategios 5; he 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 156 (Ἰωάννης μοναχὸς καὶ ἐκ προσώπου Στρατηγίου ἡγουμένου τῆς ἁγίας Θεοτόκου; the Latin version, at XIII 155, calls him "Ioannes monachus et ex persona Strategii hegumeni"). He probably attended other sessions of the Council also; see Gregorios 45.
