The infor- mation provided by Varzos, the go-to scholar for anything to do with the Komnenoi, is sadly not entirely reliable in the case of this Isaac (Isaakios 56 in his list).21 Isaac is the grandson of Isaac Komnenos sebastokrator (Isaakios 12 in Varzos), the brother of Alexios I, and he is the son of Constantine pansebastos sebastos (Konstantinos 27), attested as megas droungarios tes viglas in the early 1140s.22 Like Isaac, his father was doux of Verroia at the beginning of his career: there is a letter by Theophylact of Ohrid in which he tells Constantine that his brother Demetrios is travelling to Verroia; as Theophylact’s brother died in 1107– 1108, this gives us a terminus ante quem.23 Isaac’s date of birth is unknown; but given the fact that he was doux of Verroia in the early 1130s, he was most probably born before ca. 1110.24	cache/grbs-16957.pdf	txt/grbs-16957.txt
