The Eunuch in Byzantine History and Society By Shaun Tougher
"Significant also in pointing out that favourable views of eunuchs could exist in the later Roman (and Byzantine) empires is Georges Sideris. He discusses cases already cited in this chapter, such as Eutherius and Amantius, and identifies others, such as the chamberlains Misael and Theodore who feature in John of Ephesus' Lives of the Eastern Saints. These two chamberlains are noted for their piety and charity. Sideris also highlights the particularly interesting instances of Callinicus and Narses. Callinicus was the grand chamberlain of Justinian I, and was celebrated by Leontius Scholasticus in an epigram, which was originally attached to an icon of the eunuch. The epigram remarks on Callinicus' spiritual beauty as well as his physical beauty. It also imagines the eunuch sowing gentleness in the ears of the emperor as he goes to sleep."

I love the fabric detailing on his clothes which are much more simple compared to other works and I find that super charming for his character I love your historical works the most
