Theophylaktos 33 was a basilikos koubikoularios, parakoimomenos and strategos of Sicilia; owner of seals dateable to the eighth century: DOSeals I 5.30. Obv.: Θεοτόκε βοήθει τῷ σῷ δούλῳ. Rev.: [Θεοφυλά]κτῳ [βασ]ιλ(ικῷ) κουβ[ικ(ουλαρίῳ)], παρακ(οιμωμένῳ) (καὶ) [σ]τρατηγ(ῷ) Σικ(ελίας). Two similar seals, from a different boulloterion, are Zacos and Veglery 2529a and b. Obv.: cruciform monogram of Θεοτόκε βοήθει, with τω - σω - δου - λω in the corners. Rev.: Θεοφ - υλακτω - βασιλ' κου[β] - ικ' παρακ' [(και)] - στρατη[γ] - [Σι]κ'. Another seal with the same legend as the DO specimen but from a different boulloterion is Laurent, Vat., no. 114 (dated by Laurent to the seventh or eighth century). Possibly identical with the Theophylaktos
