Koustoditos 1 was the bishop of Balentinokastron (?Valentini Castrum); 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. 152, lines 25-27 (= Mansi XI 309-310) (Κουστόδιτος ἐλάχιστος ἐπίσκοπος τῆς ἁγίας ἐκκλησίας τοῦ Βαλεντίνου Κάστρου; the old Latin version printed in Riedinger, p. 153, lines 17-18 (= Mansi XI 310) calls him "Custoditus humilis episcopus sanctae ecclesiae Castroualentanae". His see appears to be otherwise unrecorded. This bishop is named between a group of bishops from Tuscia and another group from Latium south of Rome and his see was presumably located in one area or the other.
