Ioseph 19 was hegoumenos of Antidion; he was the addressee of a letter from Ignatius the Deacon (Ignatios 9), in which Ignatios 9 rebukes him for negligence over allowing a novice whom Ignatios 9 had placed in his monastery to defect; he is criticised for not seeking the help of "our holy and common Father" (possibly St Ioannikios, i.e. Ioannikios 2): Ignatius Diac., Ep. 33 (addressed Ἰωσὴφ ἡγουμένῳ τοῦ Ἀντιδίου). Ioseph 19 was hegoumenos of the monastery of Antidios (in Bithynia) in November 846, when St Ioannikios (Ioannikios 2) died there (on 4 November); he performed the funeral ceremonies: Sabas, Vita Ioannicii 54 (ὁ πατὴρ τῆς μονῆς Ἰωσὴφ), cf. Petrus, Vita Ioannicii 71 (burial of Ioannikios 2 in the monastery of Antidios).
