Translation
σφραγὶς Ἀνδρονίκου τοῦ Δούκα.
Seal of Andronikos Doukas.
Commentary
This seal was included in Wassiliou-Seibt's catalogue of metrical inscriptions, but we see it as a prose inscription. A metrical seal issued by an Andronikos Doukas, in all likelihood the same owner, is cited in this entry.
