Niketas 89 was hypatos; owner of two seals both dateable to the eighth century: Speck, Bleisiegel 173 and 174. Obv.(of 173): Θεοτο - κεσωζου - πολεως - βοήθι; (of 174) ... - κεσωζου - πολεω. - βοηθι. Rev.(of 173): τωδο - υλωσου - νικητ. - υπατ.; (of 174) τωδο - .λωσου - νικητα - υπατω. Both texts read: Θεοτόκε Σωζουπόλεως, βοήθει τῷ δούλῳ σοῦ Νικήτᾳ ὑπάτῳ. Presumably Niketas was a native of, or resident in, a city called Sozopolis. There were two cities of that name, one in Thrace and one in Pisidia.
