Theophylaktos 109 was a eunuch (εὐνοῦχος) and protospatharios (πρωτοβαθρεῖ ἐν σπαθαρίων); he was of distinguished origin; he served for a long time at the imperial court and rose to the rank of protospatharios; in old age, he founded a church and a monastery, where he was later buried; a funeral epitaph was composed for him by Theodoros 15 (Theodore the Stoudite): Theod. Stud., Epigrammata 113, cf. Speck, Jamben, pp. 292ff.
