Theodorus
26. Of CONSTANTINOPLE (1-2). The list of Patriarchs of Constantinople comprehends two Theodores:
Theodorus
Theodore I., from A. D. 676 to 678, when he was deposed, on what account is not known. But on the death of George, who had been appointed to succeed him, he recovered his patriarchate, which he held only for a short time, probably from A. D. 683 to 686.
Theodorus or Theodorus Irenicus
Theodore II. was surnamed Irenicus or Copas; he had previously held the office of Summus Philosophorum, Ὕπατος τῶν φιλοσόφων, and Chartophylax of the Great Church at Constantinople; and was patriarch for sixteen months only, A. D. 1213-1215, while Constantinople was in the hands of the Latin invaders. (Le Quien, Oriens Christianus, vol. i. col. 232, 233, 277.)
