Theophilos Erotikos (10th Century)
Theophilos Erotikos (, ) was a 10th-century Byzantine jurist and official. Life His origin and family are unknown, except that he was a relative by marriage of a certain '' patrikios'' Nikephoros, who was appointed by Constantine VII (r. 945–959) as teacher of geometry at the University of Constantinople. He is first mentioned in 945 as the Eparch of Constantinople, having evidently occupied the office already under Romanos I Lekapenos (r. 920–944). In the aftermath of an earthquake in 945/6 he was charged with caring for the citizens whose homes were destroyed, but his officials, especially a certain Zonaras, wasted the allocated funds. Nevertheless, soon after (before March 947), he was promoted successively to the senior legal office of '' quaestor'' and the rank of ''patrikios''. He was generally recognized as an excellent jurist and administrator. As ''quaestor'', he was possibly the successor of the '' magistros'' Kosmas. The date of his death is unknown, howev ...

Theophilos Kourkouas
Theophilos Kourkouas (, fl. ca. 920–960s) was a distinguished Byzantine general in the 10th century. He was also the grandfather of the Byzantine emperor John I Tzimiskes (r. 969–976). Biography Theophilos was a scion of the Kourkouas family, a clan of Armenian origin that had established itself as one of the chief families among the Anatolian military aristocracy by the early 10th century. His father was likely called Romanos, and he was possibly the grandson of John Kourkouas the Elder, who served as commander of the Hikanatoi regiment and conspired against Emperor Basil I (r. 867–886) in the 870s. Theophilos is probably to be identified with the person referred to in contemporary Arabic and Armenian sources as ''ash-Shamīshāq'' or ''Ch‘mšshik'' respectively, indicating that he already bore the surname or sobriquet of Tzimiskes, which was famously borne by his grandson, the Emperor John I Tzimiskes (r. 969–976).
