Anna 8 was a patrikia; owner of two seals dateable to the late ninth century or the early tenth: Zacos and Veglery 1412a and b. The two seals are identical. Obv.: cruciform monogram of Θεοτόκε βοήθει. Rev.: +τι ση - δουλη Αν - νις πατρι - κηας. The text reads: Θεοτόκε βοήθει τῇ σῇ δούλῃ. Ἄννης πατρικίας. Another seal, also owned by a patrikia called Anna and dateable to the same period, probably belonged to the same person: Zacos and Veglery 1718. Obv.: cruciform monogram of Θεοτόκε βοήθει with τη - ση - δου -λη in the corners. Rev.: +Αννα - ς πατρη - κηας+. The text reads the same as on the other seals.
