Deposition
Phocas was deposed and executed by Heraclius in October, 610. His brothers Domentziolus and Comentiolus were also executed. Whether Leontia was also executed is unknown.
Priscus had supported Heraclius and continued to serve as commander of the Excubitors to 5 December 612. He was then replaced by Niketas, a first cousin of Heraclius, and forced to take monastic vows. According to the Chronicon Paschale, he died in the Chora monastery in 613. Whether Leontia had further descendants through the marriage of her daughter to Priscus is unknown.
