Manuel I confirmed privileges & granted protection to Theologos of Patmos

Summary:
Leontios, the hegoumenos of Patmos and patriarch of Jerusalem, appealed to Manuel I, citing privileges granted to his monastery by his imperial predecessors. He sought confirmation of the privileges and protection from the praktores of Samos. He mentioned Pegonites as a praktoras who had harassed the monks of Patmos as soon as he was appointed, making outrageous demands and pillaging the monastery's islands. Manuel fulfilled the request, signing in red ink and sealing in wax a decree confirming the privileges granted to Patmos by his predecessors and forbidding the praktores of Samos from harassing the monks. The decree was signed by the official Michael Hagiotheodorites, and a copy by Konstantios, the bishop of Leros. It was registered by Mochomos in the sekreton of the megas logariastes, and by Thomas Alyates in the sekreton of the epi tou vestiariou
