of Konon

Κόνωνος

Pavement mosaic, inscription incomplete. Inscription published by V. Tzaferis. It is unclear whether additional letters or a second cross appeared to the right of the single word. Konon is a familiar name. It was the name of the bishop of Hippus who attended a synod in Jerusalem in 518 CE. All that is known of this Konon, however, is that he was an important member of Chorsius'/Kursi's monastic group in the late fifth or sixth century.
