                  <p xml:lang="fr">
                      Le thème des Anatoliques était le premier de l’Empire
                      selon l’ordre des <hi rend="italic">taktika</hi>. Au XIe siècle, alors que la frontière orientale
                      avait été repoussée au cours du siècle précédent, il avait perdu de son
                      importance stratégique, mais conservait tout son prestige pour les
                      fonctionnaires civils.
                      La combinaison des dignités de vestarque et d’<hi rend="italic">hypatos</hi> ne peut se
                      rencontrer que durant ce laps de temps et l’on est sans doute plus près
                      de 1080 pour qu’un chartulaire provincial du drome soit titré vestarque,
                      même si le thème des Anatoliques était le plus important de l’Empire.
                      Cette bulle constituerait un nouvel indice que l’administration de ce thème ne fut pas interrompue immédiatement
                      après la défaite de Mantzikert. Le prénom Pothos n’est pas bien conservé, mais le sceau de l’IFEB est aussi
                      dégradé au début de la légende et ne permet pas de confirmer la lecture proposée. Pothos est assez peu porté.
                      Toutefois, il appartient au groupe des prénoms en usage chez les Monomaque. Comme l’effigie choisie est celle de
                      saint Georges, la préférée dans cette famille, on se demandera, à titre d’hypothèse, si notre sigillant n’appartenait
                      pas à cette lignée [1].
