"... I saw this seal. ... It got my attention because of the peculiar 2nd 'doulos' in the reverse
legend. Could this possibly be a seal of a 'servant of the patriarch' -
Doulos patriarchou? The last two letters, if they are pi-upsilon could
be a believable contraction for that word. The word before could be
'monachos', monk, while the name could be short - IW for John or KWN for
Constantine. It's hard to read lead from photo's, but maybe you can read
it better in hand. "
