In the lists of those present at the first and seventh sessions he is styled Μιχαὴλ ἐπισκόπου Πάππων: Mansi XII 998, XIII 372. Elsewhere he is styled Μιχαὴλ ὁ ὁσιώτατος ἐπίσκοπος Πάπων or similar: Mansi XII 1107 and XIII 149, XIII 396 (πόλεως Πούππων; the Latin version, at XIII 395, reads: "episcopus Pappensium"). At the second session he supported the traditional veneration of icons as described in statements from pope Hadrian I (Hadrianos 1) and condemned iconoclasts: Mansi XII 1107. At the fourth session he subscribed the statements read out from the Fathers in support of the veneration of icons: Mansi XIII 149. At the seventh session he subscribed the statement of the faith adopted by the Council: Mansi XIII 396.
