Christodoulos 3 was the author of verses engraved on the foreheads of Theodoros 68 and Theophanes 6; he stood near the emperor Theophilos 5 and read the verses out when Theophilos 5 ordered that the punishment take place: Vita Mich. Sync. 19 (Χριστόδουλος τοὔνομα ὁ τούτους σκεψάμενος). Four days later Christodoulos 4 and his father, Anonymus 635, were the assessors present with the unnamed prefect (Anonymus 634) who again questioned and threatened Theodoros 68 and Theophanes 6 and then ordered the engraving of the verses: Vita Mich. Sync. 22 (συγκαθημένων τῷ ὑπάρχῳ τοῦ τε Χριστοδούλου, τοῦ τοὺς ἰάμβους σκεψαμένου, καὶ τοῦ αὐτοῦ πατρός). The engraving took place on 18 July 836; see Theodoros 68.
