Theodosios 17 was a monk of the monastery of Hagios Theodoros of Sikounda; in 787 he attended the Second Council of Nikaia (the Seventh Ecumenical Council) and is attested at the fourth session, on 1 October 787, when he subscribed the statements read out from the Fathers in support of the veneration of icons: Mansi XIII 156 (Θεοδόσιος μοναχὸς τοῦ ἁγίου Θεοδώρου τῆς Σικούνδας; the Latin version, at XIII 155, calls him "Dositheus (sic) "monachus sancti Theodori Sicundae"). He probably attended other sessions of the Council also; see Gregorios 45.
