Epiphanios 8 was hegoumenos of the monastery of the Paranandos; in 787 he attended the Second Council of Nikaia (the Seventh Ecumenical Council) and is attested at the fourth session, on 1 October 787, when he subscribed statements read out from the Fathers in support of the veneration of icons: Mansi XIII 153 (Ἐπιφάνιος ἡγούμενος τοῦ Παρανάνδου; the Latin version, at 154, calls him "hegumenus Paranandi"). He probably attended other sessions of the Council also; see Gregorios 45.
