Ioannes 163 was dioiketes of Peloponnesos; owner of a seal dateable probably to the ninth or tenth century: Ebersolt, "Sceaux byzantins", p. 235, no. 366. Obv.: bust of the Virgin holding the Child. Rev.: invocative formula in the name of the Virgin and the legend Ἰωάννης διοικητὴς Πελοποννήσου. Cf. also (for a similar, or perhaps identical, seal) Schlumberger, Sig., p. 180, note, no. 9 (tenth century) = Mordtmann, "Plombs" I, pp. 296-297, no. 15 (tenth century) = Bon, Péloponnèse, p. 188, no. 12 (tenth century). The text reads: Θ( εοτό)κε β(οή)θ(ει) - τῷ σῷ δ(ούλῳ) - Ἰω(άννῃ) διοικη - τῇ Πελο - ποννήσ(ου).
