Stephanos 160 was one of the imperial secretaries (probably an asekretis), he borrowed from Ignatios 9 (Ignatius the Deacon) a copy of the Gospels, probably to check the text with a copy of his own; subsequently he loaned it to the bishop of Synnada, Michael 6 (who died in 826); he was dead when Ignatios 9 wrote about the book to the patriarch Methodios 1 (in 843/847): Ignatius Diac., Ep. 54 (ταύτην ὁ ἐν μεθέξει τῆς μακαρίας λήξεως Στέφανος, ὃς ἐν τοῖς βασιλικοῖς ὑπογραφεῦσι τὸ τηνικάδε προέλαμπε, πρὸς μεταβολὴν αἰτήσας εἴληφεν). Possibly identical with Stephanos 140.
