His descriptions of the sack of Constantinople are very vivid as he describes the desecration and looting of [[relics]] from the churches, particularly [[Hagia Sophia (Constantinople)|Hagia Sophia]].
In a theological work, Nicetas composed the “Thesaurus of Orthodoxy” (''Thesaurus Orthodoxae Fidei''), a collection of tracts to use as source material for responding to contemporary [[heresy|heresies]] and to document the twelfth-century Byzantine philosophical movement.
He died between 1210 and 1220, most likely 1215/1216.
