Leo 267, also called Krateros, was a patrikios and strategos of the Anatolikoi in late 866 when he and the unnamed strategos of Cappadocia (Anonymus 590) were among those who received some hair following the ceremonial first hair-cutting of Leo 25, the second son of the emperor Basil I (Basilios 7): Const. Porph., De Cer. II 23 (Reiske, 622). Basilios 7's son (the future emperor Leo VI (Leo 25)) was born in September 866 and the hair-cutting ceremony probably took place later in the same year; cf. Dagron, "Nés dans le pourpre", in TM 12 (1994), p. 127, Suda, ed. Adler, III 167 s.v. kourosunon.
