Theodora 3 was the mother of pope Paschal (Paschalis 5); on the inscription which records her name she is styled "Theodora episcopa" (presumably an honour recognising her sanctity): inscription in the Church of St Praxedis, cited by Duchesne, Lib. Pont. II, p. 64, n. 12, lines 36-41 (she was buried there by her son).
