Anonymus 15 was an apo eparchon and genikos kommerkiarios of the apotheke of the Aigaion Pelagos; owner of a seal, from which his name is lost, dateable to the reign of the emperor Philippikos 1 (see below): DOSeals II 40.22 = Zacos and Veglery 211 = Oikonomides, Dated Seals, p. 41, no. 29. The text on the reverse reads: ..ν - ..κομμ - ..κιαριο - ..ποθηκ - ..του αι - ...πελ - ..... The seal has on the obverse an image of the emperor Philippikos 1; it also has an indiction sign, with the number missing, and part of a circular inscription, reading: ποεπαρχ... The date is therefore 711/713. On the identification of the emperor, see Oikonomides, p. 41. The titles read: [..ἀ]πὸ ἐπάρχ[ων καὶ γε]ν[ικοῦ] κομμ[ερ]κιαρίο[υ ἀ]ποθήκ[ησ] τοῦ Αἰ[γαίου] πελ[άγους]. According to Zacos and Veglery, op. cit., note on 211, the owner of this seal was perhaps Ioannes 358 (who held this office in 713/714).
