According to Joh. Eph., EH 3.27, Theophilus was an imperial commissioner twice involved in the suppression of religious minorities. In the early 570s, he was dispatched by Justin II to pacify the rebellious Jews and Samaritans in Palestine, and in 580, he led an investigation against pagans in Heliopolis and other Syrian cities.
