Nikephoros 30 was patrikios and strategos of the Thrakesioi; owner of a seal dateable to the eighth or ninth century: Schlumberger, Sig., p. 252, no. 1. The text as given by Schlumberger reads: Θεοτόκε βοήθει (in cruciform monogram) τῷ σῷ δούλῳ Νικηφόρῳ πατρικ(ίῳ) (καὶ) στρατιγ(ῷ) τῶν [Θρ]ακε[σιων]. The reference to this seal in Winkelmann, Rangstruktur, p. 83, is confused (and cf. Seibt's reference to Zacos and Veglery 2189).
