A Stoudite monk, Sophornios 2 is mentioned in a letter of Theodore the Stoudite (Theodoros 15) written between 809 and 811; he was one of the Stoudite monks whom Theodoros 15 proposed to refer to in code, using letters of the alphabet, for security reasons: Theod. Stud., Ep. 41, pp. 121-122, line 9.
He is probably identical with the hegoumenos of the monastery of Sakkoudion, Sophronios, under whom Akakios 3 perhaps served as deutereuon and whom Akakios 3 probably succeeded as hegoumenos: Theod. Stud., Catech. Magn. II 60, 62 (pp. 426, 436ff. Papadopoulos-Kerameus).
