Kyrikos 2 was bishop of Ankyra Synaos in Phrygia; in 681 he attended the Third Council of Constantinople (the Sixth Ecumenical Council) and was present at two of the last three sessions (sessions sixteen and eighteen, on 9 August and 16 September): Riedinger, pp. 692-794 (= Mansi XI 615-652). In the subscriptions to the statement of the faith, which condemned monotheletism, he is styled Κύρικος ἐλέει Θεοῦ ἐπίσκοπος Ἀγκύρας Φρυγίας: Riedinger, p. 794, line 7 (= Mansi XI 652). The old Latin version calls his see "ciuitatis Ancyre Phrygiae": Riedinger, p. 795, line 8 (= Mansi XI 651). In the list of the subscriptions to the Council he is styled Κύρικος ἐλέει Θεοῦ ἐπίσκοπος πόλεως Ἀγκύρας ἐπαρχίας Πακατιανῆς: Riedinger, p. 828, line 9 (this line is missing from the manuscript used in Mansi; see Riedinger, p. 828, apparatus criticus). In the lists of those present at each session he is styled Κυρίκου ἐπισκόπου Ἀγκυροσυνάου: Riedinger, p. 692, line 9, p. 762, line 19 (= Mansi XI 616, 629). The old Latin version of Riedinger, p. 693, line 9 (= Mansi XI 615) reads: "Cyrico episcopo Ancyrosynano"; that of Riedinger, p. 763, line 19 (= Mansi XI 630) reads: "Cyrico episcopo Ancirosinnano".

His see was a combination of the two cities of Ankyra and Synaos, both in Phrygia Pacatiana; see Ramsay, Historical Geography, p. 147, Jones, Cities, pp. 89-90, 530.

Still bishop in 692, Kyrikos 2 attended the Quinisext Council in Constantinople and signed the canons: Ohme, Bischofsliste, p. 164, no. 171 (= Mansi XI 1001) (Κήρυκος ἀνάξιος ἐπίσκοπος πόλεως Ἀγκύρας Πακατιανῆς). The name in Mansi is given as "Kyrikos", in Ohme as "Kerykos".
