Theodotos 10 was a patrikios and strategos of Sicilia; owner of a seal dateable to the eighth or ninth century: DOSeals I 5.28. Obv.: Θεοτόκε βοήθει [τ]ῷ σῷ δούλῳ. Rev.: [Θε]οδό[τῳ] πατρι[κί]ῳ κ(αὶ) στρ[ατη]γῷ Σικ[ελίας ]. Nesbitt and Oikonomides, DOSeals I, p. 32, note, record the uncertainty of the reading of the name, which could be [Θε]οδο[σίῳ] or [Θε]οδο[ύλῳ], but draw attention to a patrikios Theodotos (see Theodotos 56) killed by the Arabs at Mineo in 830/831 (citing the Chronicle of Cambridge, in Vasiliev, Byzance et les Arabes I, 345, cf. 128).
