Theodosios 33 was bishop of Sinope; owner of a seal dateable to the middle or late ninth century: Laurent, Corpus V 1, no. 424 = Schlumberger, Sig., p. 291, no. 1. Obv.: invocative monogram of Θεοτόκε βοήθει with the legend τω - σω - δου - λω. Rev.: Θεωδωσ(ίῳ) ἐπησκόπῳ Σηνόπης.

He is probably identical with the bishop of Sinope, Theodosios (PBE II), who attended the Photian synod in 879/880 (Mansi XVII A, 377). Laurent observes: "one could have supposed that it was for this prelate that was transcribed Cod. Patmiac. 114, dated by Sakkelion, Πατμιακὴ Βιβλιοθήκη, Athens, 1890, p. 68, to the beginning of the tenth century, if another author, L. Duchesne (cf. Abb Duchesne and M. Bayet, M moire sur une mission au Mont Athos, Paris, 1877, p. 245) did not assign it to the eleventh. A third opinion is needed."
