Antiochos 1 was logothetes of the dromos before 766, in which year he was the strategos of Sicily: Theoph. AM 6257 (Ἀντίοχός τε λογοθέτης τοῦ δρόμου γεγονὼς καὶ στρατηγὸς Σικελίας). Called logothetes of the dromos in 766 by Nicephorus: Nic. Brev. de Boor 74, Mango 83:11-13 (Ἀντίοχος μὲν ὁ τῶν δημοσίων πραγμάτων τὰς ὑπομνήσεις ἀυτῷ διακομίζων - λογοθέτην δὲ τοῦ δρόμου τὴν ἀξίαν οἱ περὶ τὰ βασίλεια καλοῦσι). In 766 he was one of the high officials accused of conspiring against the emperor Constantine V (Konstantinos 7) who were put on display in the hippodrome on 25 August; Antiochos 1 was apparently one of those subsequently blinded and exiled: Theoph. AM 6257, Nic. Brev. de Boor 74, Mango 83. Cf. also Konstantinos 6. See Rochow, Konstantin V, pp. 205-206.
