Andreas 22 was basilikos spatharios and archon of Christoupolis; owner of seals dateable to the ninth century: DOSeals I 39.1a (= Zacos and Veglery 1716a) and b. The two specimens are from the same boulloterion, as is a third, also published in Zacos and Veglery 1716b. Obv.: Θεοτόκε βοήθει with τω - σω - δου - λω in the corners. Rev.: Ανδρε - α β' σπαθ' και - αρχοντι τ' - Χρουπ'. The name and titles read: Ἀνδρέᾳ β(ασιλικῷ) σπαθ(αρίῳ) (καὶ) ἄρχοντι τ(ῆς) Χρ(ιστ)ουπ(όλεως). On the expansion of Χρουπ', see Nesbitt and Oikonomides, DOSeals I, p. 107, note. Christoupolis was in Thrace; cf. Nesbitt and Oikonomides, ad loc.
