Theodosia 3 was the wife of Petros 130 and mother of Hilarion the Younger (Hilarion 1) and Agapios 5; she and her husband were both pious and well known to the emperor (probably Constantine V Konstantinos 7 or Leo IV Leo 4): Synax. Eccl. Const. 731/2, 48-49 (6 June) (πατρὸς μὲν ἦν Πέτρου Καππαδόκου, μητρὸς δὲ Θεοδοσίας, εὐσεβῶν καὶ φιλοθέων, ἀλλὰ καὶ γνωρίμων τῷ βασιλεῖ). Their son Hilarion 1 was born apparently in 775, and they were both still alive in 795 when he left them to become a monk; cf. Hilarion 1. For Agapios 5, see also Matantseva, "La Vie d' Hilarion, higoumène de Dalmatos, par Sabas", RSBN n.s. 30 (1933), pp. 18, 21.
