    Commentary

    An identity with Konstantinos imperial protospatharios and imperial archiatros attested on a seal published by Laurent and dated by him to the 8th/9th c. is ruled out.

    [1] 1. Laurent, 1933, p. 40-41, no. 5 . In the PmbZ the seal is dated to the 10th c., see PmbZ Online, 23737 .
