Konstantinos 22 was subdeacon at Rome; he was sent to the Third Council of Constantinople (the Sixth Ecumenical Council) in 680 by pope Agatho 1, together with the deacon Ioannes 31 and the priests Theodoros 22 and Georgios 15: Riedinger, p. 56, line 9 (= Mansi XI 236) (Κωνσταντίνου τοῦ ὑποδιακόνου) (mentioned in the letter from Agatho 1 to the emperor), Riedinger, p. 889, line 19 (= Mansi XI 685) (mentioned again in the definition of the faith sent after the Council to Agatho 1), Riedinger, p. 895, line 32 (= Mansi XI 716) (recorded in the letter sent after the Council to the new pope Leo II (Leo 16) by the emperor), Lib. Pont. 81. 3 ("Constantinum subdiaconum"). He was a subdeacon at Rome and a regionarius of the Church (Κωνσταντῖνον τὸν ὑποδιάκονον καὶ ῥεγιωνάριον τῆς ἁγίας ἡμῶν ἐκκλησίας, or similar); after his return to Rome (in July 682, see Riedinger, p. 870, line 5 = Mansi XI 727-728) he was sent back to Constantinople by pope Leo II (Leo 16) with Leo 16's reply to the emperor and with instructions to remain there as the pope's apokrisiarios: Riedinger, p. 870, line 5, pp. 880-884 (= Mansi XI 728, 735-736) (Leo 16's letter), Riedinger, cf. p. 894-897 (= Mansi XI 717) (the emperor's letter, asking the pope to appoint an apokrisiarios).
