Pionios 1 is mentioned in a letter written by Theodoros 15 (Theodore the Stoudite) in 797; he and the monk Zacharias 27 met Theodoros 15 when Theodoros 15 arrived at Tilis on his way into exile at Thessalonike; they wanted to accompany him to share his fate but were not allowed to do so: Theod. Stud., Ep. 3, pp. 11-16 (ὅ τε ἀββᾶς Ζαχαρίας μετὰ τοῦ Πιονίου: p. 14, lines 84-85). Pionios 1 was probably also a monk.
