The career of Ioannes 358 can be reconstructed from the evidence of several seals, which all probably belonged to one and the same individual.

Apo eparchon and genikos kommerkiarios of the apotheke of Constantinople; owner of a seal dated to the year 712/713 by the indiction date: Zacos and Veglery 213bis. The name and titles read: Ἰωάννου ἀπὸ ἐπάρχων καὶ γενικοῦ κομμερκιαρίου ἀποθήκης Κωνσταντινουπόλεως.

Apo eparchon and archon of the blattion; he and Petros 107 were the archontes of the blattion and were joint owners of two seals dated to the year 713/714 by the indiction date: Zacos and Veglery 214a and b. The names and titles read: Πέτρου διακόνου καὶ Ἰωάννου ἀπὸ ἐπάρχων, ἀρχώντων τοῦ βλαττίου.

Apo eparchon and genikos kommerkiarios of the apotheke of the Aigaion Pelagos; owner of a seal dated to the year 713/714 by the indiction date (twelve): DOSeals II 40.23 = Zacos and Veglery 213. Obv.: the emperor Anastasios II, standing, with the indiction date twelve (ιβ'), and a circular inscription reading: Ιωαννου αποεπαρχω. Rev.: και γενι - κου κομμ - ερκιαριου - αποθηκης - του Αιγεου - .ελαγου. The name and titles read: Ιωάννου ἀπὸ ἐπάρχων καὶ γενικοῦ κομμερκιαρίου ἀποθήκης τοῦ Αἰγαίου Πελάγου[ς ].

According to Zacos and Veglery, Seals, p. 287, this man is to be identified with the owner of Zacos and Veglery 211 (whose name is illegible; see Anonymus 15).
