Theophanes 33 was a patrikios, basilikos protospatharios and genikos logothetes; owner of several seals dateable to the first half of the eighth century: Zacos and Veglery 555B, 2509a and b (all three = Laurent, Corpus II, no. 286) (obv.: cruciform monogram of Θεοτόκε βοήθει, with τω - δου - λω - σου in the corners; rev.: +Θ[ε]οφ - ανει πατρι - κιω βασιλι - κω πρωτος - παθαριω [και] γ[ε] - νικω λογο - θετη+), 2510 (obv.: cruciform monogram of Θεοτόκε βοήθει, with τω - δου - λω - σου in the corners; rev.: cruciform monogram of Θεοφανει πατρικιω, with βασ' - ασπ' - και γεν' - λογ' in the corners). The name and titles read: Θεοφάνει πατρικίῳ, βασιλικῷ πρωτοσπαθαρίῳ καὶ γενικῷ λογοθέτῃ.
