- "Despite this tradition, followed by certain synaxaria, he should perhaps be identified with his namesake, a priest of Sardis, commemorated on 27 May. According to a local tradition, Saint Therapontus was of western origin (cf. the 'Alaman' saints on 28 Sept., p.224). He shone by his miracles and his defence of Orthodoxy, and was killed by the Arabs in 632. The translation of his relics took place in about 690."[11]
- Not to be confused with Therapont of Sardis (+259); or Therapont of White Lake (+1426).
- Not to be confused with Pontius of Carthage (c. 260), who is commemorated on March 8.
