Silouanos 1 was bishop of the island of Lemnos; in 681 he subscribed the statement of the faith condemning monotheletism which was produced by the Third Council of Constantinople (the Sixth Ecumenical Council); he is not attested as present at any of the eighteen sessions of the Council, but his signature appears in a group of nine bishops whose names end the list of those who subscribed; he is styled Σιλουανὸς ἐλέει Θεοῦ ἐπίσκοπος τῆς Λημνίων νήσου: Riedinger, p. 796, line 14 (= Mansi XI 653).
Still bishop of Lemnos in 692, he attended the Quinisext Council in Constantinople and signed the canons: Ohme, Bischofsliste, p. 152, no. 62 (= Mansi XI 993) (Σιλουανὸς ἁμαρτωλὸς ἐπίσκοπος πόλεως Λήμνου). To judge by the surrounding bishoprics in the list of signatures, Lemnos at this date was in the province of Macedonia Prima.
