By writing an hypomnema as patrikios, he stopped
Niketas 12102
overturning the marriage between
Nikolaos 12103
and
Eudokia 12101
; there were not two cousins marrying two cousins, since Marias betrothal to Kosmas was broken at his death
Eustathios Romaios Ralles-Potles V, 341
He may lurk behind the elderly nonentity Ophrydas as composer of the attack on
Ioannes 18
- a man of greater education and knowledge of the law [? but he is unlikely to have lived so long]
ἄλλον δέ τινα καὶ λόγου μετέχοντα καὶ τῶν πολιτικῶν ἀντεχόμενον καὶ τὸν προστησόμενον ἱκανῶς εἰδότα τῶν νόμων. Psellos Against Ophrydas 35-42
He wrote a very large number of reports of judicial verdicts, many of which
Anonymus 12144
summarised as the Peira; many of the Peira's verdicts are not included here, as they involve no identifiable person apart from their author
Πεῖρα ... διδασκαλία ἐκ τῶν πράξεων τοῦ μεγάλου κυροῦ Εὐσταθίου τοῦ ῾Ρωμαίου. Eustathios Romaios Peira, passim
His hypomnema defended the marriage of
Ioannes 12103
and
Maria 12104
against
Niketas 12103
, stressing that
Theoktistos 12101
had not ended Marias virginity, and that she and
Maria 12105
were not first cousins, leaving sufficient separation
Eustathios Romaios Schminck I, 1-111
His hypomnema described the genealogical link between
Theophano 12102
and her husband,
Theophylaktos 12101
, then examined the same material counting the degrees of separation: the conclusion was that there was no hindrance to their marriage
ἀκώλυτος ἅρα ὁ γάμος. Eustathios Romaios Schminck I, 10-60
His report on the case against
Euphemios 102
proved by witnesses that
Theodote 102
at her wedding could not have been old enough to be betrothed; the wedding was thus invalid, and no hindrance to marriage between Euphemios and
Maria 145
Περὶ δισεξαδέλφων δύο. Eustathios Romaios Ralles-Potles V, 32-36
His text rebutted claims that the marriage between
Anonymus 12255
and
Anonyma 12146
was incestuous: marriages between a man and the daughter of his second cousin did not fall under any canonical ban
Eustathios Romaios Schminck III, 1-153
