6. MARIA ([837/38]-before 842, bur Constantinople, Church of the Holy Apostles). Theophanes Continuatus names (in order) "Thecla et Anna Anastasiaque et Pulcheria et Maria" as the five daughters of Emperor Theofilos and his wife[949]. Theophanes Continuatus records that "quinque filias…ex illis natu minimam…Mariam" married "ex Crenitarum gente, Armenius patria, Alexius cognomento Moseles", who was invested as "patricii primum ac proconsulis…tum…etiam magister, ac demum cæsar" by his father-in-law[950]. As Maria must have been a young child at the time of this recorded marriage, it is possible that the ceremony was one of betrothal only. Emperor Konstantinos VII's De Ceremoniis Aulæ records that "Maria, filia Theophili" was buried in the church of the Holy Apostles[951].

[m] [Betrothed] ([836/37]%29 ALEXIOS Mousele, son of --- (-842 or after, bur Chrysopolis, Bythinia, Monastery of Anthemios). The emperor installed him as stratelates and dux of Sicily but he was accused of betraying the Christian cause to the Arabs and of plotting to take the throne. He was brought back to Constantinople, beaten and imprisoned[952]. Theophanes Continuatus records that he retired to Chrysopolis and founded the monastery of Anthemios[953]. Theophanes Continuatus names "eius germanus Theodosius", referring to Alexios Mousele, and that he was installed as patrikios and buried in the monastery founded by his brother[954].
