Leontios 14 was archbishop of Calabria; owner of a seal dateable to the mid ninth century: Laurent, Corpus V 1, no. 908. Obv.: Virgin holding medallion of Child, with the legend Θεοτόκε βοήθει τῷ σῷ δούλῳ. Rev.: +Λεοντ - ιωι αρχιεπ - ησκοπωι Κα - λαβρηα(ς). He is possibly identical with the bishop of Regium, Leontius (PBE II), attested at the Eighth Ecumenical Council in 869/870 (Mansi XVI 195E) and distinct from Leo 90; see Laurent, op. cit., notes on pp. 714 and 715.
