Konstantinos 40 was eparchos (ἔπαρχος) in late 866/early 867, when he blinded the rebel Georgios 57 Peganes on orders from the emperor Michael III (Michael 11); presumably identical with the hyparchos (ὁ ὕπαρχος) who preserved the bodies of Iannes (Ioannes 5) and Konstantinos Kaballinos (the emperor Constantine V; Konstantinos 7) in the praetorium for the emperor until it was time to produce them at the chariot races in the Hippodrome: Leo Gramm. 247-248, Georg. Mon. Cont. 834, Ps.-Symeon 680, 681. During the reign of Basil I (Basilios 7)he was one of the rebels associated with Ioannes Kourkouas (II PBE): Leo Gramm. 261, Georg. Mon. Cont. 847, Ps.-Symeon 699. Cf Winkelmann, Quellenstudien, p. 175. Cf. Konstantinos 149.
