6. EUDOCIA, third wife of Leo the Philosopher, son of Basil the Macedonian and of Eudocia. (No. 3.) She died in childbirth soon after, and the child died also. She was the daughter, or of the race of Opsicius. Of the date of her marriage and death we have no account. It was probably near the beginning of the tenth century; at any rate before A. D. 904. (Zonaras, Annales, vol. iii. p. 143, ed. Basil, 1567; Cedrenus, Compendium, p. 492, ed. Basil, 1566.)
