Russian term or phrase: Феодор Киликиец
This guy is not a saint, but a blacksmith who was used by St. Artemios (patron saint of hernias, apparently) for healing.

Theodore of Cilicia?

From a work on architectural monuments of Constantinople.

Здесь в VII в. лежал квартал Вивиану и находилась кузница Феодора Киликийца, над которым однажды подшутил святой Артемий. Этот чудотворец считался специалистом по лечению паховой грыжи...Артемий был большим весельчаком, и в его «Чудесах» мы найдем немало историй, основательно подрывающих представление о Византии как о чопорном обществе, лишенном чувства юмора...Так вот, Артемий, явившись, по обыкновению, во сне одному из своих пациентов, отправил его лечиться к упомянутому кузнецу.

PS. You are translating "В поисках Константинополя. Путеводитель по византийскому Стамбулу и окрестностям" (Вокруг света, 2011) by Иванов, aren't you? It's a great book! You'll learn a lot about Constantinopole (unless you already are an expert).
