Stephanos 147 was bishop of civitas Gummasis (Gummi) in Byzacena; in 645/646 he subscribed the letter sent from the bishops of Byzacena to the emperor Constans II (Konstans 1) asking him to persuade the patriarch of Constantinople, Paulos 2, to abandon the monothelete heresy; the letter was read out at the Lateran Council in October 649; in the list of signatures his name appears twenty-ninth: Conc. Lat., p. 79, lines 8-9 ("Stephanus gratia dei episcopus sanctae ecclesiae civitatis Gummasis").
