Symeon 30 was head of a monastery in the vicinity of Kyzikos; he is mentioned in a catechetical letter from Theodoros 15 (Theodore the Stoudite) written between 821 and 826 and addressed πρὸς τοὺς ἐν Κυζίκῳ, which refers to τὸν ἀδελφὸν Συμεὼν τὸν εἰς κεφαλὴν ὑμῶν τεταγμένον (p. 718, lines 2-3); they had suffered persecution for their support of icons: Theod. Stud., Ep. 488, pp. 718-719.
