Sergios 113, known as Eukratas, was the epi tes basilikes trapezes (ὁ Εὐκρατᾶς ὁ ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης τῆς βασιλικῆς) in 652/653; he and the patrikios Troilos 3 visited Maximus the Confessor (Maximos 10) in his prison after his first interrogation after being taken to Constantinople in 652/653: Relatio Motionis VI 120. They questioned Maximos 10 about his debates with Pyrrhos 1 in Africa and Rome and asked why he was refusing to communicate with the patriarch of Constantinople; they told him of the arrival in Constantinople of apokrisiarioi from Rome who were about to enter into communion with the patriarch; they discussed with Maximos 10 the subject of Wills and Energies, and asked how he could accuse the patriarchs of Constantinople of not agreeing with the Ecumenical Councils; Sergios 113 then recalled once visiting Maximos 10 in his cell at Bebbae and hearing his teaching, and remarked that what most upset people was that he urged them not to communicate with the church at Constantinople; Sergios 113 and Troilos 3 then left him, with expressions of mutual respect: Relatio Motionis VI-XII 120-125.
