Ioannes 399 was a patrikios and logothetes of the Dromos; owner of a seal dateable to the eighth century: Zacos and Veglery 387 = Laurent, Corpus II, no. 417. The name and titles read: Ιωάννῃ πατρικίῳ καὶ λογοθέτῃ τοῦ δρόμου. The reading πατρίκιος is uncertain and Zacos and Veglery propose ἀσηκρῆτις instead; Seibt (Zacos and Veglery, Seals, p. 410) preferred ἀσηκρῆτις and proposed a date in the second quarter of the eighth century. Laurent, loc. cit., suggested identifying the owner with Ioannes Hexaboulios (Ioannes 81).
