Theodoros 167 was a priest at Rome, second in rank to the archpriest Petrus (Petros 65) in 686; in the disputed papal election after the death of John V (Ioannes 31), he was the preferred candidate of the army ("exercitus autem in sequentem eius Theodorum presbyterum" sc. "intendebat"), while the clergy preferred Petros 65; eventually the clergy chose a compromise candidate, Conon (Konon 10), and after a delay the army agreed: Lib. Pont. 85. 1-2. By the time of the death of Konon 10 (21 September 687) Theodoros 167 was himself the archpriest ("archipresbyter"); the papal election was again disputed and Theodoros 167 was again the preferred candidate of one section of the people ("populus Romanae urbis"), the other preferring the archdeacon Paschalis 1; Theodoros 167 and his supporters occupied the inner portion of the Lateran palace, while Paschalis 1 occupied the outer parts; eventually Sergius (Sergios 30) was chosen as the compromise candidate, and Theodoros 167 was the first of the two rivals to admit defeat, give way and greet and kiss Sergios 30: Lib. Pont. 86. 2-3. Possibly identical with Theodoros 22.
