Son of Konstantinos 42 Triphyllios and brother of Niketas 157, Georgios 230 held a military office (Γεωργίῳ τῷ τὰς στρατιωτικὰς δέλτους πεπιστευμένῳ); under the emperor Basil I (Basilios 7) he was executed in the hippodrome and his property was confiscated; the fate of the family had been foretold to his father by an Arab prophetess, Anonyma 6: Genesius III 15, cf. Theoph. Cont. III 27 (p. 122), Ps.-Symeon 635 (the sons of Konstantinos 42; their family name was Triphyllios; like their father they became clergy during the reign of Basilios 7; the fact was supposedly foretold to the emperor Theophilos (Theophilos 5) by an Arabian prophetess, Anonyma 6).
