Patrikios 1 was also known as Klausys; he was leader of the Christians in Palestine under the caliph Abdulmalik 1 and a rival of the Christian Sergios 5: Theoph. AM 6183 (καὶ Πατρίκιος, ὁ τούτου ἐφάμιλλος τῶν κατὰ τὴν Παλαιστίνην Χριστιανῶν προύχων, ὁ ἐπίκλην Κλαυσῦς); he and Sergios 5 persuaded Abdulmalik 1 to invite the emperor Justinian II (Ioustinianos 1) to provide new columns for Gethsemane when the caliph planned just to re-erect the fallen ones: Theoph. AM 6183.
