A Stoudite monk, Timotheos 7 was the addressee of five letters from Theodoros 15 (Theodore the Stoudite), written between 815 and 818: Theod. Stud., Ep. 80, 198, 307, 315, 360 (all addressed Τιμοθέῳ τέκνῳ). He is mentioned in three further letters of Theodoros 15 from the same period: Theod. Stud., Ep. 106, 107, 133. He delivered a number of letters for Theodoros 15: Theod. Stud., Ep. 80. In 815 he was living with Ioseph 3 and other Stoudites in the monastery of Sakkoudion; he escaped from the persecution of iconophiles under Leo V (Leo 15) for a while by flight but was captured and arrested in 817/818 and suffered a severe flogging, allegedly receiving one hundred and fifty lashes: Theod. Stud., Ep. , and cf. Vita B Theod. Stud. 301D, Vita C Theod. Stud. §57, p. 291 (he suffered floggings and other punishments during the persecution). He was noted for his asceticism: Vita B Theod. Stud. 301D (ὁ ἀσκητικώτατος καὶ ἀγγελόβιος Τιμόθεος), Vita C Theod. Stud. §57, p. 291 (Τιμόθεον τὸν ἀσκητικώτατον).
