Commentary
The reverse does not resolve the obverse (against Zacos), as there is no Κ or Ρ in the monogram. This seal may belong to the same owner as BZS.1958.106.852, as the obverse may also read Ἰωάννου, if there as an Ω attached to the bottom left of the Ν, as is typical of John block monograms. However, as the whole strike does not remain on this seal, this cannot be alleged for sure without a parallel.
