                      dignité rare de sébastophore, mais qui était éparque de Constantinople, car son sceau est plus tardif[1]. La
                      formule φιλόχριστος δεσπότης est très en vogue sous le règne personnel de Constantin VII, qui appréciait ce
                      qualifi catif, mais il est également utilisé sous ses successeurs immédiats. Notre Léon doit être rapproché d’un
                      autre homonyme, protovestiaire et ancien drongaire de la flotte[2], qui conduisit une armée contre Bardas Sklèros
                      révolté en 976. Léon tenta de négocier le ralliement des soutiens du rebelle, puis bouscula une partie de ses
                      troupes avant d’être lui-même défait et capturé par Bardas Sklèros en personne[3].</p>
