Πατρίδα του ἦταν ἡ Κωνσταντινούπολη καὶ ἔζησε στὰ χρόνια του Βασιλιὰ Λέοντα τοῦ Σοφοῦ (886 – 912). Νεότερη ὅμως ἐκδοχὴ (1931), λέει ὅτι ὁ Συμεὼν ἔζησε στὰ χρόνια του Δούκα Παραπινάκη (1071 – 1078), ποὺ μᾶλλον εἶναι καὶ ἡ ἐπικρατέστερη. Προηγουμένως ὀνομαζόταν Νικήτας Παφλαγῶν καὶ λόγω τῆς μεγάλης του ἀρετῆς καὶ σοφίας πῆρε τὸ ἀξίωμα τοῦ Μαγίστρου καὶ Λογοθέτου. Τὸ κυριότερο ἔργο του, ἦταν ἡ ἐκκαθάριση τῶν ἀρχαίων ἁγιολογικῶν ὑπομνημάτων καὶ ἡ παράστασή τους σὲ ὁμαλότερο ὕφος. Ἀπ’ αὐτὸ λένε, ὅτι πῆρε τὴν ὀνομασία Μεταφραστής, ποὺ μᾶλλον δὲν φαίνεται καὶ τόσο πιθανό. Ἴσως νὰ ἦταν μεταφραστὴς ξενόγλωσσων ἐγγράφων στὴν ἑλληνικὴ γλώσσα καὶ τὸ ἀντίθετο.
