Titos 1 was brother of Nicolas the Stoudite (Nikolaos 26): Vita Nic. Stud. 876B (Τῖτος ὁ κατὰ σαρκὰ γνήσιος ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ), cf. 868D-869A (Nikolaos and his siblings - τοῖς λοιποῖς αὐτοῦ εὐκλεεστάτοις ὁμαίμοσι). Son of Anonymus 272 and Anonyma 41. He was therefore a native of Kydonia in Crete: Vita Nic. Stud. 868B-C. He fled from Crete to his brother Nikolaos 26 in Constantinople when Crete was taken by the Arabs (c. 826), and described what had occurred; Nikolaos 26 persuaded him to accept the tonsure and become a monk in the Stoudite monastery: Vita Nic. Stud. 876B-877A. When the patriarch Ignatios 1 was deposed and replaced by Photios 1 (in 858), Titos 1 and Nikolaos 26 withdrew from the monastery to a metochion at Prainetos, where they rejected overtures from the Kaisar Bardas 5 and the emperor Michael III (Michael 11) to return: Vita Nic. Stud. 908C-909B. Later he accompanied Nikolaos 26 to live at Xamelion in the Chersonesos: Vita Nic. Stud. 912B (the date was while Achillas 1 was head of the monastery).
