Do any Byzantine Iconoclast writing survive?

Thanks if anyone can answer!!! Also is the Assyrian Church of the East Iconoclast? I remember being in one of their chapels once and it looked almost Protestant!

A thorough understanding of the Iconoclastic Period in Byzantium is complicated by the fact that most of the surviving sources were written by the ultimate victors in the controversy, the iconodules. It is thus difficult to obtain a complete, objective, balanced, and reliably accurate account of events and various aspects of the controversy.[19]
