Isaakios Nikephoros Person A short notice of the capture of Berat in 1342/1343 by the sebastokrator of Serbia Isaakios Nikephoros is inserted in the colophon of the manuscript (Dionys. 216/3750) written by the scribe Iakobos, kept in the library of the monastery of Dionysiu (ἐπόνησα πρὸς ταῦτα τῷ ἑξακισχιλιοστῷ αὖθις ὀκτακοσιοστῷ πρὸς τοῖς πεντήκοντα καὶ ἑνὶ ἔτη ἰνδικτηώνος δὲ ἐνδεκάτης. Ἰστέον ὅτι τὸ παρὸν βιβλίον ἐγράφη ἐν τῷ πρώτῳ ἔτω τῆς εἰς τὰ Βελλάγραδα εἰσελεύσεως τοῦ σεβαστοκράτωρος Σερβείας κῦρ Νικηφόρω τὸ Ἰσαακίω, χειρὶ δὲ Ἰακώβῳ ἱεροθύτῳ). Isaakios Nikephoros is with all probability identical with the ambassador Chiersacchio mentioned in a document from 25.05.1344 preserved in the archives of the city Dubrovnik (In consilio rogatorum captum fuit "de mittendo unum ambassiatorem Chiersacchio ad honorandum ipsum et presentandum et recommandandum mereatores in partibus illis conversantes". Item "de mittendo dona eidem Chiersacchio, cuidam alii baroni Suberto de yperferis CC"; et alia fuit de perperis CL que vicit".) The sebastokrator Kerьsakь also appears as a donator of the village of Rodokali with hamlets and all rights to the Church of Holy Mother of God Peribleptos in Ōhrid, which was confirmed by the Serbian king Stefan Uroš IV Dušan. (I kako prihodi vseōsvešteni jepiskopь Děvolьski kirь Gligori i uspomenu mi kako jestь priložilь prěljubovni vlastelinь kraljevstva mi sevastokratorь Kerьsakь selo Rodokali, i sь zaselьci i sь vsěmi pravinami sela toga crьkvi Periblepьtu, monastiru kralevstva mi i kraličinu. I kralevstvo mi zapisa i utvrьdi, jako da jestь tvrьdo i nerazorimo do věka i da jestь otь crьkve neotiemlemo do dni i do věka). The Serbian King names him in the same charter as the brother of his kingdom and as the Sebastokrator of the town Ōhrid. The Serbian king mentions his help in the conquest of the region (i sь Hristovomь pomoštiju i prědanijemь brata kraljevstva mi, sebastokratora grada Ōhrid). He is attested together with the archbishop Nikolaos as donor of the large mid-14th century icons of Christ Pantokrator and the Virgin Psychosostria destined for the templon of the Cathedral of St. Sophia at Ōhrid. An inscription is attached to the lower rim of the revetment of the Icon with Christ Pantokrator, which describes him as the sebastokrator Isaakios Dukas (ΥΜΝΟΝ ΕΠΙΝΙΚΟΝ ΩΣ ΘΕΩ ΦΕΡΕΙ ΑΥΤΟΣ Δ· ΕΝΥΛΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΧΟΙΚΟΣ ΤΥΓΧΑΝΩΝ ΔΟΥΚΑΣ ΙΣΑΑΚΙΟΣ ΣΕΒΑΣΤΟΚΡΑΤΩΡ ΙΛΑΣΤΗ ΕΙΚΟΝΑ ΗΡΥΣΟΥ ΑΡΓΥΡΟΥ ΤΕ ΤΕΧΝΟΥΡΓΗΜΕΝΗΝ ΗΝ ΚΑΙ ΔΕΧΟΙΟ ΠΑΜΜΕΔΟΝ ΘΕΟΥ [ΚΡΑΤΟΣ...ΕΙΣ] ΕΞΙΛΑΣΜΑ ΤΩΝ ΑΜΑΡΤΗΜΑΤΟΝ). It is not clear whether the sebastocrator Isaakios is the same person as the Caesar Dukas portrayed together with his prematurely deceased son Demetrios in the ruins of St. Panteleimon in Ōhrid, which is dated 1321 or 1331, shortly before the conquest of Ōhrid by the Serbian king Stefan Uroš IV Dušan.
Synadenos, Ioannes Komnenos Dukas Angelos Person Perhaps identical with Sinadin Kalojan? Died with all probability before 1290. His sons were at that time infants. He died as monk Ioakeim on 6 February (Ὡσαύτως ποιήσετε μνημόσυνα καθ’ ἑκάστην τοῦ χρόνου περίοδον τὴν ἕκτην τοῦ φευρουαρίου μηνὸς καὶ ὑπὲρ τοῦ μακαρίου κτήτορος ὑμῶν τοῦ μεγάλου στρατοπεδάρχου Ἀγγέλου Δούκα τοῦ Συναδηνοῦ κυροῦ Ἰωάννου, τοῦ διὰ τοῦ θείου καὶ ἀγγελικοῦ σχήματος μετονομασθέντος Ἰωακεὶμ μοναχοῦ). He was a κῦρ. He was toparch of Polog before 1275/1276 (ὁ δέ γε πατὴρ τοῦ πρὸς ἑσπέραν κατὰ τὴν Δαλματίαν λεγομένου Πολόγου τοπάρχης ἦν) and Megas stratopedarches from 1275/1276 to 1283/1284. He married his wife Theodora Komnene Palaiologina approximately in 1280 or 1281. He was the father of Ioannes Komnenos Dukas Palaiologos Synadenos, Theodoros Dukas Palaiologos Komnenos Synadenos, Euphrosyne Komnene Dukaina Palaiologina and a daugher not known by name, who was a candidate bride for the Bulgarian King Teodor Svetoslav Terter. He defected to Michael VIII Palaiologos probably after the battle at Pelagonia in 1259. The Byzantine emperor rewarded him with the title of megas stratopedarches. In 1275/1276 he fought together with Michael Kaballarios against the army of Ioannes Dukas, the ruler of Thessaly. He was defeated and captured at Pharsalos. He was one of the generals, who beat the army of Charles I of Anjou at Berat in April 1281. He joined an unsuccessful naval expedition to Thessaly in 1283/1284. He is honoured as a ktetor of the convent of the Holy Mother of God Bebaia Elpis in Constantinople according to the Typikon of his wife Theodora for the convent of the Holy Mother of God Bebaia Elpis in Constantinople. He possessed a small private library with several manuscripts.
