Description

Probably identical with the unnamed pinkernes, against who the secret organisation was plotting. Seems to be the same person as Pinkernes Tornikes, who appears in the charter of property confirmation issued by Paulos, the Metropolitan of Zichna, and the ecclessiastical court for the Hilandar Monastery in the case of the watermill at Chantax from November 1378. Mentioned in the donation deed of Pinkernissa Anna Tornikina for the Pantokrator Monastery on the Holy Mount Athos from August 1358. He is attested as δοῦλος of the Byzantine Emperor Ioannes V Palaiologos. He held the position of Pinkernes in 1358. Married to Anna Tornikina. His offsprings were Ioannes Kantakuzenos, Andronikos Tornikes, Maria Tornikina and Eirene Tornikina. He signed the donation deed of his wife for the Pantokrator Monastery on the Holy Mount Athos from August 1358. He resided at that time probably in Constantinople.
