Stephanos 100 was patriarchikos of Seleukeia; owner of a seal dateable to the second half of the ninth century: Zacos II 293. Obv.: patriarchal cross on base and two steps, with the legend Κ(ύρι)ε βοήθ[ει τῷ] σῷ δούλ(ῳ). Rev.: +Στεφ[α] - νω πατρι[α] - ρχικω Σελ - ευκιας, with tendrils. The text reads: Στεφάνῳ πατριαρχικῷ Σελευκείας.

This post seems to be unknown; a note in Zacos suggests that he was a manager of patriarchal estates, and refers to Darrouzès, Offikia, p. 309, nn. 1 and 2 (concerning patriarchika dikaia in the fourteenth century). Could the seal have been misread? Perhaps the title was e.g. β(ασιλικὸς) σπαθ(άριος) (καὶ) ἄρχων Σελευκείας, i.e. basilikos spatharios and archon of Seleukeia.
