Mistrianos 1 was komes; he was officer in command of troops in Lazike at the kastron of Schemaris, where Maximus Confessor (Maximos 10) was buried in August 662; he was an eye-witness of the miraculous display of lights that occurred nightly at the tomb of Maximos and first reported their occurrence: Theod. Spoud., Hypomnesticum (Gk), 5, pp. 74-5 (ὁ τοῦ αὐτοῦ κάστρου Σχημάρεως κώμης Μιστριάνος, ὁ καὶ βιγλεύων μετὰ καὶ τῶν ἑαυτοῦ στρατιωτῶν ταύτας οὐχ ἅπαξ οὐ δὶς ἀλλὰ καὶ πολλάκις θεασάμενος καὶ πᾶσι πρῶτος φανερῶς κηρύξας), Hypomnesticum (Lat), VI, 198 ("comes eiusdem Chemareus castri nomine Mistrianus exsistit"; he witnessed them and told the author (Theodoros Spoudaios, Theodoros 343) about them).
