Narses 6 was patrikios (πατρίκιος); he is said to have been sent to govern Beneventum and Pavia by the empress Eirene 1; he quarrelled with her over the use of imperial tribute and invited the Lombards to settle on imperial territory: Const. Porph., DAI 27, 15ff. This is a mistaken reference to the Narses who reconquered Italy in the sixth century for the emperor Justinian I; see PLRE III, pp. 912ff. (Narses 1), esp. pp. 925-926.
