Tiberios 6 was bishop of Amisos in Helenopontos; in 681 he attended the Third Council of Constantinople (the Sixth Ecumenical Council) and was present at each of the last eight sessions (sessions eleven to eighteen, from 20 March to 16 September): Riedinger, pp. 406-827 (= Mansi XI 460-676). In the subscription to the statement of the faith, which condemned monotheletism, he is styled Τιβέριος ἐλέει Θεοῦ ἐπίσκοπος Ἀμισοῦ τῆς Ἑλενοποντίων ἐπαρχίας: Riedinger, p. 792, line 6 (= Mansi XI 649) (the old Latin version at Riedinger, p. 793, line 6 (= Mansi XI 650) calls his see "ciuitatis Amissi Helenoponti regionis"). In the subscriptions to the Council he is styled Τιβέριος ἐλέει Θεοῦ ἐπίσκοπος τῆς Ἀμισηνῶν πόλεως: Riedinger, p. 827, line 4 (= Mansi XI 676) (the old Latin version here, only available in the Mansi edition, calls his see "civitatis Amison Helenoponti regionis: Mansi XI 675). In the lists of those attending each session he is styled Τιβερίου ἐπισκόπου Ἀμισσοῦ: Riedinger, p. 404, line 10, p. 518, line 32, etc. (= Mansi XI 460, 521, etc.).

Probably identical with Tiberios bishop of the city of Amisos, owner of a seal dateable to the seventh century: Laurent, Corpus V 1, no. 420. Obv.: Virgin and Child, with the legend Τιβερίου. Rev. : [+]επις - κοπου - πο(λεως) Αμις - σου.
