Theodoros 7 was apo hypaton and genikos kommerkiarios of the apotheke of Sebastopolis; owner of two similar seals dateable between 668 and c. 672: DOSeals I 86.1a and b = Zacos and Veglery 150 = Oikonomides, Dated Seals, no. 17. The inscriptions read: obv.: [Θεο]δώρου - []πὸ ὑπάτω - ν καὶ γενικ - οῦ; rev.: κομμερκιαρ - ίου ἀποθίκης - [Σ]εβαστο[π] - όλε[ως ]. The obverse has a bust of the emperor Constantine IV (Konstantinos 2) and the reverse busts of Heraklios 1 and Tiberios 1; the date was therefore not before 668 and not after 681, but it was probably early in that period, before Constantine IV (Konstantinos 2) began to be represented in military dress and before indiction numbers began to appear on seals, in 672/673; see Oikonomides, Dated Seals., pp. 31, 32. For the identification of Sebastopolis as Sebastopolis in Abasgia, see Nesbitt and Oikonomides, DOSeals, I, pp. 193-194.
