Theodoros 240 was the son of Theodoros 241; the family name was Audenos; he was owner of seals dateable between the mid seventh century and the mid eighth (Zacos and Veglery) or to the eighth (Laurent): Zacos and Veglery 1035, Laurent, Vat. 185. Obv.: +Θε. - δωρου - Αυδη - νου+. Rev.: +υι - ου Θε - οδωρ - ου+. The text reads: Θεοδώρου Αὐδήνου υἱοῦ Θεοδώρου. Laurent read the second word as Λυδήνου (Lydenos) and regarded it as an ethnic, not a family name, on the grounds that the date was too early for family names. For a similar seal, see Panchenko, Katalog, p. 47, n. 111.
