Hermias: Theod. Stud., Ep. Hermeias: Theod. Stud., Catech. Parva. A Stoudite monk, Hermias 1 defected to the iconoclast party together with Leontios 29 and Nektarios 1 after 815, and was rewarded with a position of authority (προεδρία), in which he apparently joined Leontios 29 in maltreating and pressurising the Stoudite monks who remained in Constantinople; he was possibly hegoumenos of one of the groups of Stoudite monks (p. 525, line 125): Theod. Stud., Ep. 381, pp. 521-525, Theod. Stud., Catech. Parva 101 (p. 347).
