Pantaleon 11 was basilikos kandidatos and archon of the Theologos; owner of a seal dateable between the mid eighth century and the mid ninth: Zacos and Veglery 2282A. The name and titles read: Παντολέοντι βασιλικῷ κανδιδάτῳ καὶ ἄρχοντι τοῦ Θεολόγου. Probably identical with Pantaleon paraphylax of the Lord of the Theologos, owner of another seal also dateable between the mid eighth century and the mid ninth: DOSeals III 14.1 = Zacos and Veglery 2283. The name and title read: Παντολέοντι παραφύλακι τοῦ κυροῦ τοῦ Θεολόγου. The reading of the word κυροῦ is uncertain and it may be read as κυρίου; cf. Zacos and Veglery, Seals, p. 1256. The meaning of his titles is uncertain, but he was apparently the holder of posts at Ephesos; he was perhaps paraphylax of the governor of the city and later became governor of Ephesos, or possibly he was at first military officer of an area which included the church and relics of St John the Theologos, alluding to this fact in his title (Nesbitt and Oikonomides, DO Seals III, p. 30, note), and later acquired the dignity of basilikos kandidatos and promotion to archon of Ephesos, again referring to St John in his title.
