Thomas 9 was the son of Konstantinos 41; he was a patrikios: Leo Gramm. 249, Georg. Mon. Cont. 835, Ps.-Symeon 681, Theoph. Cont. IV 36 (p. 198), V 12 (p. 229). Later he became logothetes of the dromos (under later emperors): Theoph. Cont. IV 2 (p. 150), IV 36 (p. 138) (both passages read: ὁ τοῦ πατρικίου Θωμᾶ καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα γεγονότος λογοθέτου τοῦ δρόμου πατήρ or similar), V 12 (p. 229) (ὁ τοῦ καθ' ἡμᾶς λογοθέτου τοῦ δρόμου καὶ ἐν φιλοσοφίᾳ ἄκρου καὶ ἀδωροτάτου περιφανῶς πατρικίου Θωμᾶ πατήρ). He was apparently a contemporary of the emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus (τοῦ καθ' ἡμᾶς λογοθέτου): Theoph. Cont. V 12 (p. 229). .
