Markos 3 was archbishop of Hydruntum; owner of a seal dateable to the ninth or tenth century: Laurent, Corpus V 1, no. 921. Obv.: Virgin holding medallion of the Child, with the invocative legend Κύριε βοήθει τῷ σῷ δούλῳ. Rev.: +Μαρκω - αρχιεπισκ - οπω Ιδρου - ντας+. Laurent notes two archbishops of Otranto called Markos; one was at the Photian Synod of 879/880 (see Mansi XVII A, 373 D), the other lived in the early tenth, a poet and monk; see Laurent, op. cit., p. 728, note.
