                      jeune pour être identifié avec notre sigillant, puisqu’il participait au coup d’Etat qui a porté au pouvoir Basile
                      le Macédonien (<hi rend="italic">PmbZ</hi>, no 576). Plusieurs bulles portent le nom Apélatès. L’une d’elles présente la même
                      discordance entre les grandes lettres du revers et celles de plus petit module du droit. Apélatès s’y présente
                      comme protospathaire et se situait donc à une étape antérieure de sa carrière [1]. On hésite à lui attribuer le sceau
                      d’un Apélatès, protospathaire et stratège des Karavisiens [2] ; cette pièce, aux empattements horizontaux du Ω,
                      semble un peu plus récente, mais le B est encore fermé. Cela conduit à une datation vers la fin du VIIIe siècle [3].
                      Apélatès devint un nom transmissible au XIe siècle. V. Laurent signale un Nicéphore Apélatès, évêque
                      de Bélébousdion en 1071/1072, et deux Michel Apélatès sont attestés par des bulles, l’une datant des XIIe/XIIIe
                      siècles, l’autre d’un siècle plus tôt [4].</p>
