Konstantinos 131 was archon of the Bichetoi(?); owner of a seal dateable to the eighth or ninth century: Schlumberger, Sig., p. 731, no. 3 (facsimile) = Shandrovskaia, "Sfragistika" II 456 = Shandrovskaia, Pechati 19 = Likhachev, Molivdovuly LX 3 (M-7958). Obv.: invocative monogram of Θεοτόκε βοήθει with the legend τῷ σῷ δούλῳ. Rev.: Κωνς - ταντίνῳ - ἄρχ(οντι) τ(ῶν) Βι - χητώ(ν). The title is unknown; Schlumberger proposed the reading Βινήτω(ν) (i.e. archon of the Blue faction) but this is unconvincing. See also Winkelmann, Quellenstudien, p. 203.
