Leo 92 was protospatharios and megas kourator of the basilikos oikos of the Mangana; owner of a seal dateable perhaps to the ninth or tenth century: Schlumberger, Sig., p. 142, no. 2 (facsimile) = p. 488, no. 3 = Konstantopoulos, JIAN 5, 30. Obv.: patriarchal cross with the invocative formula Κύριε βοήθει τῷ σῷ δούλῳ. Rev.: +Λέοντ(η) - (πρωτο)σπαθ(αρίῳ) (καὶ) μ - εγάλ(ῳ) κουρά - τ(ορι) τ(οῦ) β(ασιλικοῦ) οἴκου τ(ῶν) - Μαγγάν(ων). Konstantopoulos gives a different reading; the name and titles read: Λέοντι βασιλικῷ σπαθαρίῳ καὶ μεγάλῳ κουράτορι τοῦ βασιλικοῦ οἴκου τῶν Μαγγάνων. Schlumberger dates to the ninth century, but the kourator was probably created by Basil I (Basilios 7) and the addition megas suggests a later date. See however Zacharias 12. Cf. also Schlumberger, Sig., p. 151, no. 4.
