A native of Cappadocia, Petros 130 was the husband of Theodosia 3 and the father of Hilarion the Younger (Hilarion 1) and Agapios 5; a pious man, Petros 130 was well known to the emperor (probably Constantine V or Leo IV -- Konstantinos 7 or Leo 4) and supplied bread for the emperor's table (τὸν ἄρτον τῆς βασιλικῆς τραπέζης ἦν χορηγῶν): Synax. Eccl. Const. 731, AASS Jun. I, 746 (πατρὸς μὲν ἦν Πέτρου Καππαδόκου, μητρὸς δὲ Θεοδοσίας, εὐσεβῶν καὶ φιλοθέων, ἀλλὰ καὶ γνωρίμων τῷ βασιλεῖ), cf. Codex Vatic. gr. 984, f. 203v. Their son Hilarion 1 was born in 775, and they were still alive when he left them in 795 to become a monk; see Hilarion 1. For Agapios 5, see also Sabas, Vita Hilarionis Dalmat., pp. 18, 21
