The epi tōn deēseōn (

Byzantine emperor
and other Byzantine officials.

The office is usually considered by modern scholars, such as

Pseudo-Kodinos.[1]

It is unknown if he had a dedicated staff, or what its composition may have been; it is absent in the Kletorologion,[2] but a seal of a probably subordinate "notary of the petitions" (notarios tōn deēseōn) is known.[1]

Seals also attest to the existence of provincial officials titled epi tōn deēseōn, among others in

Patriarch of Constantinople.[1]
