Georgios 119 was patrikios and genikos logothetes; owner of a seal dateable to the eighth or ninth century: Schlumberger, Sig., p. 530, no. 1 (facsimile). Obv.: invocative monogram of Θεοτόκε βοήθει with the legend τω - δου - λω - σου. Rev.: [+][Γε]ωργ(ίῳ) - πατρικ - [ί]ῳ καὶ γενι - κῷ λογ - οθ(έτῃ). Four other similar seals, all dateable to the first half of the eighth century and owned by Georgios patrikios and genikos logothetes, may have belonged to the same person. Zacos and Veglery 1478 = Laurent, Corpus II, no. 283 (obv.: cruciform monogram of Κύριε ὁ Θεός, with circular inscription [+]βοήθ[ε]ι τω σω δουλω; rev.: cruciform monogram of Γεωργιω, with circular inscription +πατρικιω και γενικω λ[ογο]θετη); Zacos and Veglery 1479 = Laurent, Corpus II, no. 300 (obv.: cruciform monogram of Θεοτόκε βοήθει; rev.: Γεωργιω - πατρικιω - και γενικω λ - ογοθετ[η]); Zacos and Veglery 1926 = Laurent, Corpus II, no. 298 (dated by Laurent to the late eighth or early ninth century; obv.: cruciform monogram of Θεοτόκε βοήθει, with τω - δου - λω - σου; rev.: +Γεο[ρ] - γηω πατ - ρηκιω και γ - ενικο λο - γοθετη); and Konstantopoulos, JIAN 6, 406 (reading: Γεωργίῳ [π]ατ[ρι]κίῳ καὶ γενικῷ λογοθέτῃ). Zacos and Veglery suggest that this man was identical with the patrikios and genikos logothetes Georgios (Georgios 3) who served under Justinian II (Ioustinianos 1) and therefore date the seals to the early eighth century.
