Ioannes 592 was a pious young man who was received into the clergy by the then patriarch of Constantinople; later he became skeuophylax (possibly at Constantinople, in Hagia Sophia); subsequently he became bishop of Polybotos; he was a strong supporter of the veneration of icons and he travelled to Constantinople to protest against the revival of iconoclasm under the emperor Leo V (Leo 15); he died shortly after his return to Polybotos: Synax.
