Theodoros 11 was a native of Lebanon in Syria (Θεόδωρος δέ τις ὀνόματι Σύρος Λιβανίτης); in 760 he led a revolt in the district around Heliopolis in Lebanon against the Arabs; after many losses on both sides he was eventually put to flight and all his followers perished: Theoph. AM 6252. Theophanes records other revolts against the Arabs under this same year, in Africa and in the east (see Shaban, Islamic History, A New Interpretation, 2, pp. 13-16). For Heliopolis, cf. also Theoph. AM 6247 and see Niketas 9. For the identification of Theodoros with the person named Bundar in an Arabic source and involved in identical events, see Rochow, Konstantin V, pp. 77, 211.
