Theodore (Greek: Θεόδωρος; Latin: Theodorus) was a Byzantine nobleman in the early 7th century.
Also involved were the curopalates Varaztirots, son of Smbat Bagratuni; David Saharuni, Athalarichos' cousin; and Heraclius' nephew, the magister Theodore.
[2][3] The scheme was never executed, as an informer among the conspirators told the imperial court that Athalarichos was planning a coup attempt.
[4] Theodore received the same treatment, but was sent to Gaudomelete (possibly modern day Gozo) with additional instructions to cut off one leg.
[4] He was canonized as a (Latin: magister) by patriarch Nikephoros I of Constantinople r. 806–815, and Sebeos, who mistook him for a brother of John Athalaricos and a son of Heraclius, affirms that this title (referred to as its Greek variant magistro) is a surname.
