_Ivan postnyj_ could be the Baptist, I suppose.  But check this at the
entry _Postnik"_ in Georgij D'jachenko's _Polnyj cerkovno-slavjanskij
slovar' (1889, rpt. 1993): [...] Eto nazvanie [postnik] osobenno pridano
Ioannu, patriarxu konstantinopoo'skomu, za udivitel'noe ego vozderzhanie;
on pervyj iz caregradskix patriarxov prinjal na sebja titul
_vselenskago_, k velikomu neudovol'stviju Pelagija, papy rimskogo, i ego
posledovatelej.
