Christophoros 3 was a spatharios in 766 who had once served under the patrikios Himerios 1 (Χριστοφόρος ὁ κατὰ τὸν πατρίκιον Ἱμέριον σπαθάριος): Theoph. AM 6257. He was one of the nineteen high officials accused of plotting against Constantine V (Konstantinos 7) and put on display in the hippodrome on 25 August in the fourth indiction (i.e. 766); Christophoros 3 was probably one of those who were subsequently blinded and sent into exile: Theoph. AM 6257. See Konstantinos 6.
