Translation

Σφραγὴς Μανουὴλ τοῦ Καλονερίτου. 

This is the seal of Manuel Kalonerites.

Commentary

The reading of the name on this seal could be Kalonorites, but the remains of the first letter on the last line of the reverse suggest an epsilon. Evidence from a parallel specimen is necessary to confirm the reading.
