Reference is
Berlin II, 470 (
monogram read as 'eparchos?'). Here's the description I wrote up for this
type from my database:
Anonymous epistates (overseer). This
monogram is also read as the names of Pelagios (Cheynet, Antioche, 141, 142), Apelates, Apellios, Paeitos (
Seyrig 359). The relatively large number of
seals with this
monogram perhaps indicates that an office was meant, not an individual. C.
Sode, following N.P. Lichacev, offers the reading 'eparchos' or 'tou eparchou' for the seal, which is problematic because the letters P and X are missing. Followed here is W. Weiser's reading of the
monogram as 'epistatou' (MZ 151, 886) - 'seal of the overseer'.
