Pantherios 1 was patrikios and strategos of Sicilia; owner of a seal dateable to the ninth century: Schlumberger, Sig., p. 214, n. 2, no. 2 (facsimile) (from Salinas, ?Sigilli diplomatici?). Obv.: cruciform monogram of Θεοτόκε βοήθει with the legend τω - σω - δου - λω. Rev.: Πανθη - ριω πατρι(κίῳ) - (καὶ) στρατη(γῷ) - Σικελ(ίας). The same man probably owned two other seals, Borsari, no. 7 (undated; obv.: cruciform monogram of Θεοτόκε βοήθει, with [τ]ω - σω - [δ]ου - λω in the corners; rev.: Πανθη - ριω πατρι[κ' ((καὶ)] - στρατηγ' - Σικελ') and Gray Birch, BMSeals 17754 (ninth century; Pantherios patrikios and strategos of Sicilia). One or both of these latter two seals may be identical with the one in Schlumberger (who records in n. 1, on p. 214 that some of the seals from those published by Salinas found their way into the British Museum). The seal in Borsari is preserved in the Museo Archeologico di Siracusa.
