Rhenouakios 1 was basilikos protospatharios; owner of a seal dateable to the eighth or ninth century: Konstantopoulos, JIAN 7, 509. The name and title read: Ρενουακίῳ βασιλικῷ πρωτοσπαθαρί[ωι]. Cf. Rhendakios 1 for a similar name. According to Seibt, Bleisiegel I, p. 330 with n. 1, the correct reading of the name on this seal is indeed Rhendakios; he reads the reverse as : +Ρενδ - ακιω βα - σιλικ' α' - σπαθα - ρι'; he also dates this seal to the third or fourth decades of the tenth century and proposes to identify the owner with the Rhendakios basilikos spatharokandidatos who owned a seal dateable to the second or third decades of the tenth century; Seibt, Bleisiegel I, 192. See PBE II, Rhendakios.
