Patrikes 1 was patrikios; in the reign of the emperor Theophilos (Theophilos 5) he built the palace of Bryas in the style of an Arab palace, following instructions supplied by Ioannes 5 (who had spent some time in Baghdad as ambassador earlier in the reign): Theoph. Cont. III 9 (pp. 98-99)(τούτου ... κατὰ τὴν Ἰωάννου ἐξήγησιν τὰ τῶν ἔργων ἐκπερατοῦντος, ὃς ὄνομα μὲν Πατρίκης οὕτω καλούμενος ὠνομάζετο, τῇ τῶν πατρικίων δὲ τιμῇ ἐσεμνύνετο). On the palace, see ODB I, p. 328.
