Certainty: 2 Georgios Tornikes wrote to the metropolitan of Athens over accusations of Bogomilism
The hand of the patriarch Theodotos II, as he died, became black, as observed by the metropolitans of Side and Herakleia and Roides, the ex-archbishop of Cyprus. On their witness, Soterichos Panteugenes six months later accused Theodotos of Bogomilism, claiming the noble experience of one who had dug up many Bogomil tombs. He extended the charge (which he had been planning for six months since the death of Theodotos) to Georgios Tornikes and the metropolitan of Athens, unrestrained by threats of the power of the latter and his brothers. He destabilised the patriarchate and made the clergy refuse to pay Theodotos' funeral expenses. In a letter on the subject Tornikes wrote that it would damage the reputation of all involved, and would anger Tzocharas. However Phournes and the metropolitan of Russia had spoken in favour of Soterichos. At the end of the letter Tornikes sent regards to friends in Athens, especially to Markos and to Ioannes, nephew of the metropolitan of Arta, whilst passing on regards from others in Constantinople, particularly his brother Demetrios
