Parthenios 1 was a Stoudite monk; addressee of two letters from Theodore the Stoudite (Theodoros 15) written between 816 and 818; he had suffered during the iconoclast persecution: Theod. Stud., Ep. 171, pp. 292-293 (M/L 816); Ep. 350, pp. 486-487 (L 817/E 818) (both letters addressed Παρθενίῳ τέκνῳ). In 816 he was still a young man (μικρὸς ἐν ἡλικίᾳ): Theod. Stud., Ep. 171, p. 292, lines 3-4. He is addressed as υἱέ μου ποθητέ, Ep. 171, p. 292, line 4; and as τέκνον μου ποθητόν, Ep. 350, p. 486, line 2. He is included in a list of ten Stoudite monks all associated with Euthymios 15: Theod. Stud., Ep. 181, p. 303, line 6.
