Paulos 31 was hegoumenos of the monastery of the Agnyoi; 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 153 (Παῦλος ἡγούμενος τῶν Ἀγνύων; the Latin version, at XIII 154, styles him "hegumenus Agnyon"). He probably attended other sessions also; see Gregorios 45.
