Konstantinos 48 was bishop of Zalichos, also called Leontopolis, in Helenopontus; in 787 he attended the seventh session of the Second Council of Nikaia (the Seventh Ecumenical Council) on 11 October 787; in the list of those present at the session he is styled Κώνστα ἐπισκόπου Ζαλήχων in the Greek version, but the Latin version, at XIII 370, has "Constantino episcopo Zalechorum": Mansi XIII 369. The name Konstantinos is often shortened to Κώνστα in the text of the seventh session, and so the form Konstantinos is here perhaps to be preferred. His name does not appear among the list of those who subscribed the statement of the faith adopted by the Council at this session, but this is probably due to a defect in the text; his name may have been omitted in a lacuna on Mansi XIII 392. At the fourth session the bishop of Zalichos was Ioannes 107; apparently Ioannes 107 died or was deposed between the fourth session (on 1 October) and the seventh (on 11 October) and was replaced by Konstantinos 48.
