Theodotos 5 was bishop of Aureliopolis in Lydia; in 681 he subscribed the statement of the faith condemning monotheletism, which was produced by the Third Council of Constantinople (the Sixth Ecumenical Council); he is not attested in Mansi as present at any of the eighteen sessions of the council, but his signature appears among a group of nine at the end of the list of subscribers; he is styled Θεόδοτος ἐλέει Θεοῦ ἐπίσκοπος Αὐριλλιουπόλεως: Riedinger, p. 796, line 24 (= Mansi XI 653). The old Latin version printed in Riedinger, p. 797, line 24 (= Mansi XI 654) calls him "episcopus Aureliupoleos". In the text in Riedinger he is included in the Latin list of those who subscribed the statements of the faith read out at the seventeenth session: Riedinger, p. 749, line 16 ("Theodotus misericordia dei episcopus civitatis Aureliopoleos Libiae (sic) provinciae"). For Aureliopolis in Lydia, formerly Tmolos, see Ramsay, Historical Geography, p. 106. His signature was added at the same time as that of Citonatus 1, after the other bishops: Riedinger, p. 829, lines 24-25 (= Mansi XI 681).

Bishop of Aureliopolis in Lydia; in 692 Theodotos 5 attended the Quinisext Council in Constantinople and signed the canons: Ohme, Bischofsliste, p. 156, no. 95 (= Mansi XI 996) (Θεόδοτος ἐλέῳ Θεοῦ ἐπίσκοπος Αὐρηλιουπόλεως τῆς Λυδῶν ἐπαρχίας).
