Ioannes 73 was bishop of Tlatte (sic) in Lycia; in 692 he attended the Quinisext Council in Constantinople and signed the canons: Ohme, Bischofsliste, p. 162, no. 159 (= Mansi XI 1001) (Ἰωάννης ἐλάχιστος ἐπίσκοπος πόλεως Τλάττης Λυκίας ἐπαρχίας). The Latin version in Mansi (XI 1002) calls his see "Tlattae". No place of this name is known in Lycia or elsewhere. It is possibly a textual error and the see could therefore have been Tlos (in Lycia). This Ioannes could therefore be identified with Ioannes, bishop of Tlos, who was the owner of a seal dateable to the seventh or eighth century: DOSeals II 81.1 = Laurent, Corpus V 1, no. 511. Obv.: cruciform monogram of Θεοτόκε βοήθει with the legend Ιω - αν - ν - ου in the corners. Rev.: επη - σκοπου - πολεω - ς Τλω.
