Gregorios 114 was patrikios, basilikos protospatharios and komes of the theophylakton basilikon Opsikion; owner of a seal dateable to the eighth or ninth century: DOSeals III 39.27 = Zacos and Veglery 1963. Obv.: cruciform monogram of Θεοτόκε βοήθει with Γρη - γο - ρι - ω in the corners. Rev.: +πα. - ρικιω βα. - ιλι' ασπαθα - ριω και κομιτ - ι του θεοφ' - βασιλι' Ο - ψικιου. The name and titles read: Γρηγορίῳ πατρικίῳ, βασιλικῷ πρωτοσπαθαρίῳ καὶ κόμιτι τοῦ θεοφυλάκτου βασιλικοῦ Ὀψικίου.

Gregorios 114 is possibly identical with Gregorios Mousoulamios (Gregorios 10); cf. P. Speck, Kaiser Konstantin VI: Die Legitimation einer Fremden und der Versuch einer eigenen Herrschaft. Quellenkritische Darstellung von 25 Jahren byzantinischer Geschichte nach dem ersten Ikonoklasmus (Munich, 1978), p. 478, n. 342. Perhaps to be identified with Gregorios 115 and Gregorios 121. For doubts expressed by Shandrovskaya, Sokolova and Seibt on his identification with any of the others, see Winkelmann, Rangstruktur, p. 75. Cf. also Rochow, Konstantin V, p. 217.
