                      Or, on connaît de lui deux autres sceaux, l’un où il est seulement titré spathaire et stratège des Thracésiens[1],
                      et l’autre où il est promu protospathaire et stratège des Thracésiens, sans ambiguité (TVN|YRAK2)[2]. Syméon
                      aura donc été promu lorsqu’il était en poste dans les Thracésiens et, dans l’exercice de cette fonction, il aura
                      utilisé au moins trois <hi rend="italic">boullôtèria</hi> différents, ce qui laisse entendre qu’il est resté sur place un certain temps.
                      Notre plomb présente une organisation insolite, par la présence d’un monogramme invocatif sur chaque
                      face. Le monogramme du droit, à l’adresse du Seigneur, reproduit exactement celui du sceau où Syméon est
                      simple spathaire, avec les mêmes particularités épigraphiques. La prière à la Vierge, en monogramme V, figure
                      sur les plombs du protospathaire Syméon. Mais aucun de ces autres plombs ne propose une légende circulaire.
