Konstantinos 111 was metropolitan bishop of Katana; owner of a seal dateable to the ninth century: Laurent, Corpus V 1, no. 895 = Gray Birch, BMSeals 17830. Laurent corrects the reading of Gray Birch. Obv.: invocative monogram of Θεοτόκε βοήθει with the legend τῷ σῷ δούλῳ. Rev.: [+Κωνσ] - <τ>αντίν<ῳ> - <μ>ητροπ[(ολίτῃ)] - Κατάν(ης). Laurent favoured a date around the middle of the century, and suggests that this man was the second metropolitan bishop of Katana, succeeding a Euthymios; see Laurent, op. cit., p. 703, note.
