Sophia 1 was sister of Theodora 2 (and therefore sister-in-law of the emperor Theophilos 5), Kalomaria 1 and Eirene 4, and of Petronas 5 and Bardas 5; she married Konstantinos 30 Baboutzikos: Theoph. Cont. IV 22 (p. 175), Scyl., p. 98. All the sisters were handsome and virtuous: Scyl., p. 98 (αἱ πάσαι καλαὶ καὶ ἀγαθαὶ τὰς ὄψεις καὶ ἀρετῆς ἐλάσασαι πρὸς ἀκρώρειαν).
