Konstantinos 34 was bishop of Perge (in Pamphylia); in 787 he attended the Second Council of Nikaia (the Seventh Ecumenical Council) and was probably present at all eight sessions, from 24 September to 23 November 787: Mansi XII 994-XIII 486. In the lists of those present at the first and seventh sessions he is styled Κωνσταντίνου ἐπισκόπου Πέργης: Mansi XII 994, XIII 365. Elsewhere he is styled Κωνσταντῖνος ὁ ὁσιώτατος ἐπίσκοπος Πέργης or similar: Mansi XII 1091, 1151, XIII 137, XIII 381 (wrongly called Κώνστας/"Constans" in both Greek and Latin versions). At the second session he accepted the traditional veneration of icons as described in statements from pope Hadrian I (Hadrianos 1) and condemned iconoclasts: Mansi XII 1091. At the third session he accepted as orthodox the statements of the faith contained in letters from Tarasios 1 and the eastern patriarchs and condemned iconoclasts: Mansi XII 1151. At the fourth session he subscribed the statements read out from the Fathers in support of the veneration of icons: Mansi XIII 137. At the seventh session he subscribed the statement of the faith adopted by the Council: Mansi XIII 381.
