Prokopios 2 was eparchos of Constantinople (τὸν ἔπαρχον Προκόπιον) in 766 when a conspiracy against the emperor Constantine V (Konstantinos 7) was uncovered; he was beaten by the emperor and dismissed from his post for sympathising with the widespread public grief which followed the execution of Konstantinos 6 and Strategios 1 (ὡς τοῦτο καταδεξάμενον): Theoph. AM 6257.
