Stratonikos 1 was bishop of Soloi in Cyprus; in 681 he attended the Third Council of Constantinople (the Sixth Ecumenical Council) and was present at the last five sessions (sessions fourteen to eighteen, from 5 April to 16 September); he and the bishop of Kition, Tychon 1, are regularly associated as both from Cyprus, and their signatures occur together: Riedinger, pp. 634-825 (= Mansi XI 585-673). In the subscriptions to the statement of the faith, which condemned monotheletism, and to the Council, he is styled Στρατόνικος ἐλέει Θεοῦ ἐπίσκοπος τῆς Σολίων πόλεως (so Riedinger, p. 786, line 13 (= Mansi XI 645); Riedinger, p. 825, line 9 (= Mansi XI 673) reads: ἐπίσκοπος Σόλων) τῆς Κυπρίων νήσου: Riedinger, p. 786, line 13, p. 825, line 9 (= Mansi XI 645, 673). The old Latin version printed in Riedinger calls his see "Soliorum ciuitatis Cipri insulae": Riedinger, p. 787, line 13 (= Mansi XI 646). In the lists of those present at each session he and Tychon 1 are regularly styled Στρατονίκου ἐπισκόπου Σόλων καὶ Τύχωνος ἐπισκόπου τοῦ Κιτίου, ἀμφοτέρων τῆς συνόδου τυγχανόντων τῆς φιλοχρίστου τῶν Κυπρίων νήσου: Riedinger, p. 634, lines 2-3, pp. 654, line 27-656, line 2, p. 670, lines 1-2, p. 688, lines 18-19, p. 758, lines 13-14 (= Mansi XI 585, 597, 605, 613, 623, 628). During the fourteenth session he and the other Cypriot bishops Theodoros 36 and Tychon 1 produced a collection of passages from the Fathers, especially from St Athanasios, in support of the doctrine of Two Wills and Two Energies, as well as a collection of sermons by St Athanasios which they had found in Constantinople: Riedinger, pp. 654-656 (= Mansi XI 596- 597).
