                            <p>Bu makale 838 yılında Amorion kuşatmasının ardından Araplar tarafından ele geçirilen kırk iki Bizans yetkili-sinden biri olan Kallistos’a (Melissenos ailesinin bir üyesi olduğu bildirilir) ilişkin örnek çalışmadır. Adı geçen kişi bilimsel literatürde Koloneia’da (diğer görüşlere göre Anatolikoi veya Armeniakoi Themalarında) aktif bir askeri subay olarak kayıtlıdır. Fakat mevcut kanıtlar daha yakından incelendiğinde onun hiç var olmadığı - ya da en azından Koloneia’da askeri bir subay olarak bulunmadığı - ve kaynaklarda kendisinden bahsedilmesinin hagiografi, politika ya da aile saygınlığı ile ilgili bir yanlış anlaşılmanın ve/veya kurgusal bir yazının sonucu olduğu belirtilebilir.</p></trans-abstract>

The person in question has been recorded in scholarly literature as a military officer active in Koloneia (or, according to other views, in the themes of the Anatolikoi or the Armeniakoi). A closer examination of extant evidence, however, may suggest that he never existed – or at least not as a military commander in Koloneia – and his mention in the sources was the result of a misunderstanding and/or fictional writing related to hagiography, politics, or family prestige.</p></abstract>
