Theodotos 8 was a monk of the monastery of the Hagia Theotokos of Epikanze; in 787 he attended the Second Council of Nikaia (the Seventh Ecumenical Council) and is attested at the fourth session, on 1 October 787, when he subscribed the statements read out from the Fathers in support of the veneration of icons: Mansi XIII 153 (Θεόδοτος μοναχὸς τῆς ἁγίας Θεοτοκόυ Ἐπικανζῆ; the Latin version, at XIII 154, calls him "Theodorus monachus sanctae Dei genetricis Epicanzi"). He probably attended other sessions of the Council also; see Gregorios 45.
