Theodore was a monk in Jerusalem and supporter of Origenist views before coming to Constantinople in the 530s where he became an important theological advisor of Justinian. From 537 to his death in 558, he was archbishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia. Joh. Eph., EH 2.10, blames him for convincing Sophia to take the Chalcedonian communion.
