Troilos 2 was a patrikios; owner of a seal dateable to the middle of the seventh century: Seibt, Bleisiegel I, no. 132. Obv.: cruciform invocative monogram of Θεοτόκε βοήθει. Rev.: +Τρω - ΐλῳ πα - τρικί - ῳ. The same man probably owned a similar seal, Zacos and Veglery 1670 (belonging to Τρώϊλος πατρίκιος), and also a seal similar in type to the two others, Zacos and Veglery 3061 (belonging to Τρώϊλος ἀπὸ ὑπάτων). The last seal must then be earlier than the others, since apo hypaton ranked below patrikios. Seibt proposed to identify this man with the Troilos patrikios who was prominent at the trial of pope Martin in 654 (Troilos 3), and suggests that the same person was the father of the Andreas who murdered the emperor Constans II in 668 (Troilos 1). See Seibt, op. cit., p. 265.
