Theodoros 75 was known as Moros: cf. Ps.-Symeon (ὁ Μωρός), Theoph. Cont. (Θεόδωρος ὁ Μωρός), Nicetas, Vita Ignatii 521B-C (ὁ Μωροθεόδωρος), and see further below. In 858 Theodoros 75, Ioannes 93 and Nikolaos 7 were entrusted by the Kaisar Bardas 5 with the custody of the patriarch Ignatios 1 when Bardas 5 and Ignatios 1 fell out; they imprisoned the patriarch in the church of the Holy Apostles, in the section of the tombs, and put him in the sarcophagus of Constantine V Copronymus (Konstantinos 7) in appalling conditions during the winter months, before Ignatios 1 was finally deposed and succeeded by Photios 1: Theoph. Cont. IV 31 (pp. 193-194), Ps.-Symeon 667, Nicetas, Vita Ignatii 521B-C. Called Moros (Θεοδώρῳ τῷ Μωρῷ κατὰ κλῆσιν), he was the most cruel of the persons to whom Bardas 5 delivered the deposed patriarch Ignatios 1; he, with Ioannes 93 and Nikolaos 7, took Ignatios 1 to the tombs of the emperors in the Church of the Holy Apostles and imprisoned him in the tomb of the emperor Constantine V Copronymus (Konstantinos 7), leaving him there naked and without food during the winter season: Genesius IV 18. He forced the hand of Ignatios 1 to mark a piece of paper which was then used to justify his deposition: Nicetas, Vita Ignatii 521C. He was perhaps already one of the manglabitai. A manglabites in 866 he went on the expedition against Crete during which Bardas 5 was assassinated; during the return, at Akritas, he was sent to execute with his sword a monk (Anonymus 46) who called out rebuking the emperor for the murder of his relative; the man was only spared after the crowd insisted that he was mad: Leo Gramm. 245 (μαγγλαβίτην τὸν Μαυροθεόδωρον), Georg. Mon. Cont. 831 (μαγγλαβίτην τὸν Μωροθεόδωρον), Ps.-Symeon 679 (not named). Cf. Winkelmann, Quellenstudien, pp. 170-171. On manglabitai, see Oikonomides, Listes, p. 328.
