Cp. seals in Schlumberger, Sigillographie byzantine, p. 162-3. 6 There is no evidence for the theme of Macedonia before the ninth century. For seals of ninth century see Schlumberger, Sig. byz. p. iii. " For the Peloponnesus as an independent theme before the end of the eighth century, cp. Schlumberger, Sig. byz. p. 179, n. 5. berger, Sig. byz. p. 1S8. 9 The theme of StrvTnon (which probably did not touch the coastl was formed perhaps in the first half of the ninth century at latest. Cp. the seal of Theophilus (in Schlumberger, Sig. byz. p. 108), which belongs to the iconoclastic period. 1" Seals of Cephallenian theme are very rare. They begin to appear in the ninth century. Schlumberger, ib. p. 207 sgq. 11 No seal of the Aegean Sea is known earlier than the ninth century. Schlumberger, ib. p. ig^ sqq. The seal (No. 12, p. 195) which has " kommerkia of the islands of the Aegean Sea," and belongs to the seventh century, does not prove a theme of that name. But it inif;JU have been a designation of the big maritime theme before it was divided. 12 There arc seals of Bryennius, strategos of Dalmatia, date ninth century; and another of a protomandator of Dalmatia (same period). Schlumberger, Sig. byz. p. 205. 13 The official spelling (on seals) is ayov^ap&ia. or Xayv$ap&ia.. 14 The proper title of the chief of the Optimaton was Domestic. But we also find on seals a straligos Optimaton and a caiepano. See Schlumberger, Sig. byz. p. 244.
 * Hellas and Peloponnesus were united in the eleventh century. See seals in Schlum-
