Bitos 1 (Vitus) was bishop of Silva Candida; he was one of the hundred and twenty-five Western bishops who attended the Council of Rome at Easter 680, and who subscribed the decree condemning monotheletism: Riedinger, p. 144, lines 10-11 (= Mansi XI 301-302) (Βίτος ἐλάχιστος ἐπίσκοπος τῆς ἁγίας εκκλησίας Λευκῆς Σίλβας; the old Latin version printed in Riedinger, p. 145, line 9, names his see as "ecclesiae Siluae\n Candidae").
