Kyprianos 5 was a monk in the Stoudite monastery at Constantinople; a disciple of Nicholas the Stoudite (Nikolaos 26); every year he visited an elderly man living at Atroa (Nicolaus scholarios, Nikolaos 27) and learned from him the story of his campaign against the Bulgars under the emperor Nikephoros I (Nikephoros 8) in 811; he told the story to Anatolios 1 who in turn passed it on to the author of the Life of Nicolas the Stoudite: Vita Nic. Stud. 893B-897D. Possibly identical with Kyprianos 6 (see Costa-Louillet, Byz. 25/27, 1955/1957, p. 801).
