Theodoros 80 was bishop of Komana in Pontus Polemoniacus; in 787 he attended the Second Council of Nikaia (the Seventh Ecumenical Council) and was probably present at all eight sessions, from 24 September to 23 November 787: Mansi XII 998-XIII 486. In the lists of those present at the first and seventh sessions he is styled Θεοδώρου ἐπισκόπου Κομάνων: Mansi XII 998, XIII 369. Elsewhere he is styled Θεόδωρος ἐπίσκοπος Κομάνων or similar: Mansi XIII 145, 392. At the fourth session he subscribed the statements read out from the Fathers in support of the veneration of icons: Mansi XIII 145. At the seventh session he subscribed the statement of the faith adopted by the Council: Mansi XIII 392. His name is missing from the list of those who supported the traditional veneration of icons at the second session, possibly in error.
