Lead Seal Greek Inscription (2)

[v-drome]

Here are two more seals.  I think they are 'of Mark, Archdeacon"  Do we have any historical references to this Mark, or for
Kallinikos, for that matter?  Thanks, V-drome

I agree with your reading and solution of the monogram - except 'diakonou' in stead of 'diokonou'. You would have to look up various prosopographic studies (like PMBZ - http://pom.bbaw.de/pmbz/index.html - I checked and our Markos and Kallinikos are not in there) to see if there's any additional information. But that does not happen often, especially if the individuals are of relatively modest rank.
(By the way: I split up the thread because this is a different seal type)
