Salbentios 1 was patricius and strategos; owner of two seals dateable to the late seventh century or the early eighth; one seal is in Latin, the other in a mixture of Greek and Latin titles and characters: Zacos and Veglery 2918 (the name and title read: "Salbentio patricio", all in Latin characters), Zacos and Veglery 2919 (the name and titles read: "Salbentio patricio" καὶ stratηgo, all in Latin characters apart from και and the η). According to Zacos and Veglery, Seals, p. 1655, the two seals belonged to one and the same individual. The mixture of Greek and Latin suggests that he was in office in the West.
