Ioannes 127 was hegoumenos of the monastery of Chenolakkos; in 787 he attended the Second Council of Nikaia (the Seventh Ecumenical Council); he is attested at the fourth session on 1 October 787, where his representative, the monk Thomas 11, was also present; he then subscribed the statements read out from the Fathers in support of the veneration of icons: Mansi XIII 152 (Ἰωάννης ἡγούμενος τοῦ Χηνολάκκου; see also Thomas 11). He probably attended other sessions of the Council also; see Gregorios 45.
