Demetrios 7 was metropolitan bishop of Herakleia in Thrace (Europa); owner of a seal dateable to the ninth or tenth century: DOSeals I 53.5 = Laurent, Corpus V 1, no. 303 (obv.: images of St Peter and St Paul, with the legend Ἅγιοι Πέ[τρ]ε (καὶ) Π(α)ῦλε βοήθειτ(ε); rev.: Δημητρίῳ μητροπολίτῃ Ἡρακλείας).
Possibly identical with the man to whom Arethas (PBE II) gave a book before 901 (L. G. Westerink, ed., Arethae Archiepiscopi Caesariensis, Scripta Minora (Leipzig, 1968-72), p. 305) and who was removed from his metropolis in June 912 by the patriarch Nicholas I Mystikos (Grumel, Régestes, nos. 631-32); see Nesbitt and Oikonomides, DOSeals I, p. 136, note.
