Zacos-Veglery, no. 1224 (with the name read as Thettalos).

Translation

Εὐσταθίου

Eustathios

Commentary

Zacos reads the monogram on this seal as Θεττάλου (Thettalos), which, although possible, seems quiet unlikely. Much more likely is the name Eustathios, with the Σ found within the Ε on the right arm of the cruciform.
