Commentary
In Birch, no. 17742, there is a (misdated) seal featuring St. Panteleïmon, which belonged to a judge and patrikios Leo Triakontaphyllos. It is probably the same individual as the owner of our seal at a later stage of his career. Another patrikios Triakontaphyllos is mentioned in the Peira 36,18.
