Of noble birth, Neboulos 1 was appointed by the emperor Justinian II (Ioustinianos 1) in c. 692 to command the army raised from the Slav peoples settled in the Opsikion theme: Nic.Brev. de Boor 36, Mango 38:12-13 (ἄρχοντα αὐτοῖς ἐκ τῶν εὐγενεστέρων ἐπιστήσας Νέβουλον τοὔνομα), Theoph. AM 6184 (ἄρχοντά τε αὐτῶν Νέβουλον τοὔνομα). This army was sent against the Arabs but deserted to them near Sebastopolis: Nic. Brev. de Boor 36, Mango 38, Theoph. AM 6184 (referred to as τῷ συμμαχοῦντι Ῥωμαίοις στρατεγῷ τῶν Σκλάβων). Neboulos 1 was perhaps himself a Slav.
