Michael 24 was hegoumenos of the monastery of Hagios Georgios the Martyr; 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 156 (Μιχαὴλ ἡγούμενος τοῦ ἁγίου μάρτυρος Γεωργίου; the Latin version, at XIII 155, calls him "Michael hegumenus sancti martyris Georgii"). He probably attended other sessions of the Council also; see Gregorios 45.
