[IOANNES Taronites [III] ([1095/1105]-after 1147). Pansebastos sebastos. "t?? pa?seß?st?? seßast?? t?? d??a??d?t?? ??? ep????? ??????? t?? ?a????t??" is named in the 1147 synod which deposed Patriarch Kosmas[814]. The poem quoted below states that the wife of Ioannes Doukas Komnenos was "from the family of a pansebastos…". No record has yet been found of another member of the Taronites family with the title pansebastos at that time, which suggests that Ioannes was probably her father. The same poem indicates that the wife of Ioannes Doukas Komnenos was descended from Maria Komnene, wife of Mikhael Taronites [I]. Assuming that it is correct that her father was pansebastos Ioannes Taronites [III], it is unlikely that he was the son of Mikhael´s son Ioannes Taronites [I] given the Byzantine convention of not normally naming sons after their fathers. It is likely therefore that he was the son of Gregorios, or of another of Mikhael´s sons who is not otherwise known from the records.] m ---. One child
