Cir­ca 759, Con­stantinople.

No­vem­ber 11, 826.

Educated by his un­cle Pla­to, The­o­dore was ban­ished by Con­stan­tine for his re­so­lute re­fus­al to ac­know­ledge the Em­per­or’s il­li­cit mar­riage with The­o­do­ra in 797. On the ac­cess­ion of Irene (798), he was re­called and en­joyed the fa­vor of the Em­press. In 809, he was again ban­ished, for the old cause, re­fus­al to ac­know­ledge the le­gi­ti­ma­cy of Con­stan­tine’s mar­riage. Re­called once more in 811, he was im­pris­oned and again ban­ished for his de­fense of icons, under Leo the Ar­men­ian. He was re­called a third time at the death of Leo. He suc­ceed­ed his un­cle Pla­to as He­gu­men of the Mon­as­te­ry of the Stu­di­um.
