, otherwise,
good very fine.
Leon was a courtier of the imperial household, attached to the imperial treasury and wardrobe. Unfortunately, Leon's dignity, which is mentioned in the first lines of the reverse inscription, is obscured, but a person of his stature would normally be an imperial protospatharios, which fits the space of the inscription.
