Michael 29 was basilikos protospatharios and strategos of Thrace; owner of a seal dateable to the ninth century: DOSeals I 71.31 = Zacos and Veglery 2197. Obv.: Κύριε or Θεοτόκε βοήθει [τ]ῷ σῷ δούλῳ. Rev.: Μιχαὴ[λ β(ασιλικῷ)] (πρωτο)σπαθα(ρίῳ) [(καὶ)] στρα(τηγῷ) τ(ῆς) Θρᾴκ(ης). Nesbitt and Oikonomides (DOSeals, ad loc.) note that the last words could be read as τ(ῶν) Θρᾳκ(ησίων) but this is less likely. For a similar seal belonging to a Michael patrikios, basilikos protospatharios and strategos of Thrace, see Michael 48 (Schlumberger, Sig., 730).
