Theodoros 250 was possibly bishop of Kos (the name of the see is uncertain); owner of a seal dateable to the seventh century (DOSeals) or between the mid seventh century and the mid eighth (Zacos and Veglery) or to the late seventh or eighth century (Laurent): DOSeals II 49.3 = Zacos and Veglery 1626 = Laurent, Corpus V 3, no. 1814. Obv.: cruciform monogram of Θεοτόκε βοήθει. Rev.: ... - δωρο ε - πισκοπ - ω Κω - .... Laurent read the name of the see as Κιου. It is not certain whether the text ended at Κω or continued for another line; if the latter, the bishopric might have been Kokkos (Κω - [κου]); cf. Zacos and Veglery, Seals, note ad loc.. Nesbitt and Oikonomides, DO Seals, note ad loc., reject Kokkos, propose Komana or Komba, but prefer Kos.
