Ioseph 8 was hegoumenos of the monastery of the Akoimetoi; in 787 he attended the Second Council of Nikaia (the Seventh Ecumenical Council) and is attested at the fourth session, on 1 October 787, where he subscribed the statements read out from the Fathers in support of the veneration of icons: Mansi XIII 152 (Ἰωσὴφ ἡγούμενος τῶν Ἀκοιμήτων). He probably attended other sessions of the Council also; see Gregorios 45.
