Theophylaktos 6 was a kandidatos in 766; he had once served under (or was a client of) Marinakes 1 (Θεοφύλακτος κανδιδᾶτος ὁ κατὰ τὸν Μαρινάκην); perhaps he had formerly been employed by, or under the patronage of (if the two terms are necessarily exclusive), Marinakes 1; he was one of nineteen high officials accused of plotting against Constantine V (Konstantinos 7) and put on display in the hippodrome on 25 August 766; he was probably one of those subsequently blinded and sent into exile: Theoph. AM 6257. See also Konstantinos 6.
