Lamaris 2 was an exarch in Asia during the persecution under Leo V (Leo 15); he was an iconoclast and a persecutor of iconophiles (p. 125 - ὑπῆρχέν τις ἐν τοῖς κατὰ τὴν Ἀσίαν μέρεσιν ἔξαρχος θεοστυγὴς καὶ ἀπάνθρωπος καλούμενος Λάμαρις); an agent of his arrested the brothers Petros 34 and Paulos 26 and delivered them to Lamaris 2 (πρὸς τὸν αὐτοῦ ἀρχηγὸν ἀπήγαγεν Λάμαριν), who imprisoned them in an oratory and then in a fortress (φρούριον); Lamaris 2 tempted Paulos 26 to condemn images by promising him a bishopric, without success; he released both men after the death of the agent who had arrested them: Vita Petr. Atr. 26, pp. 125-129. He was probably a military officer in Asia. Perhaps an ancestor of Lamaris 1.
