Konstantinos 280 was tribounos of the thymele; he and Menas 7 brought accusations against Maximus the Confessor (Maximos 10) and his disciple Anastasios 1 at Constantinople; when they were produced before Anastasios 1, Anastasios 1 described Konstantinos 280 as neither a priest nor a monk but a tribounos of the thymele, who was notorious in Africa and Rome because of the women whom he kept and who travelled around with him (οὗτος οὐκ ἔστιν οὔτε πρεσβύτερος οὔτε μοναχὸς ἀλλὰ τριβοῦνος θυμέλης. Ἐγνωρίσθη Ἀφροῖς καὶ Ρωμαίοις, ποῖα γύναια βόσκων ἦλθεν ἐκεῖσε); where he was known he described the women as his sisters or as women whom he was saving from heresy, but elsewhere he lived off their earnings: Relatio Motionis XII 125C.
