Konstantinos 68 was hegoumenos of the monastery of Hagios Thyrsos; he was also perhaps called David (see below); 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 the statements read out from the Fathers in support of the veneration of icons: Mansi XIII 152 (Κωνσταντῖνος ἡγούμενος τοῦ ἁγίου Θύρσου; the Latin version, at XIII 151, styles him "David hegumenus sancti Thyrsi"). He probably attended other sessions of the Council also; see Gregorios 45. Cf. also Agapios 2.
