Menas 7 accused Maximos 10 (Maximus the Confessor) of splitting the Church after Maximos 10 had denied various charges before the synkletos in the sekreton of the palace shortly after being taken to Constantinople (in 652/653): Relatio Motionis V, 117. Soon afterwards Menas 7 visited Maximos 10 in prison, accompanied by secular officials, and accused him of leading people into Origenist errors; Maximos 10 then anathematised Origen, and the patrikios Epiphanios 50 remarked that he had cleared himself of that charge, addressing Menas 7 as Κῦρι ἀββᾶ Μηνᾶ: Relatio Motionis V, 120. Subsequently Menas 7 and Konstantinos 280 brought accusations against the disciple of Maximos 10, Anastasios 1: Relatio Motionis XI, 125. He was perhaps identical with the monk Menas to whom a letter seeking peace was sent by Ioannes 490: Acta Primi Exilii 169B.
