Herr, hilf deinem Diener Konstantinos protospatharios, kaiserlicher notarius des eidikon und krites epi tou hippodromou und von Makedonien.

Konstantinos[1] is attested on two parallels, one belonging to the collection of Dumbarton Oaks and the other one to the collection Orphanides-Nikolaides in the Athens Numismatic Museum. The parallels have been essential for the complete restitution of the legend of our specimen.
