The names of Polychronios 6 and Sisinnios 37 occur on the edge of the remains of a baptismal font found in the old Christian basilica in the centre of Sozopolis (Sozopol, near Burgas, in Bulgaria); the text reads: ὑπὲρ εὐχῖς κ(ὲ) σοτερίας Πολυχρονίου κ(ὲ) Σισινίου+: Beshevliev, Spätgr. u. spätlat. Inschr. Bulg., no. 181a. The inscription is dateable to the eighth or ninth century. The two men were possibly wealthy citizens of Sozopolis (perhaps brothers) who donated the font.
