Ioannes 188 was archbishop of Ainos (Thrace); owner of a seal dateable to the eighth or ninth century: Laurent, Corpus V 1, no. 855 = Schlumberger, Sig., pp. 118-119. Obv.: invocative legend of Κύριε βοήθει with a monogram of the name Ιωα (i.e Ἰωάννῃ). Rev.: +αρχιε - πισκο - πω Αι - νου. Probably too early to be identified with the archbishop of Ainos, Ioannes, who attended the Photian Synod in 879/880 (Mansi XVII A, 373 C) (PBE II).
