Theophilos 13 was bishop of Chios; in 787 he attended the Second Council of Nikaia (the Seventh Ecumenical Council) and is attested at the fourth and seventh sessions, on 1 October and 13 October 787; he perhaps attended the last five sessions, from 1 October to 23 November 787: Mansi XIII 149-486. In the list of those present at the seventh session he is styled Θεοφίλου ἐπισκόπου τῆς Χίου: Mansi XIII 372. Elsewhere he is styled Θεόφιλος ἐπίσκοπος τῆς Χιου (sic) or similar: Mansi XIII 149, XIII 396. At the fourth session he subscribed the statements read out from the Fathers in support of the veneration of icons: Mansi XIII 149. At the seventh session he subscribed the statement of the faith adopted by the Council: Mansi XIII 396.
