Theodoros 81 was bishop of Pinara in Lycia; 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 Πιννάρων: Mansi XII 998, XIII 369. Elsewhere he is styled Θεόδωρος ὁ ὁσιώτατος ἐπίσκοπος Πινάρων or similar: Mansi XII 1106 (called Theodosius in both the Latin (at XII 1105) and the Greek versions here, but "Theodorus" everywhere else), XIII 145 (Πιννάρων), XIII 392 (Πιννάρων). At the second session he supported the traditional veneration of icons as described in statements from pope Hadrian I (Hadrianos 1) and condemned iconoclasts: Mansi XII 1106. 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.
