The byzantine family name “Kataphloron” of civil and military officials (from the 10th to the beginning of the 13th century) has been attested in sources in various forms. By the examination of sources it has been established that the second declination form “Kataphloros” is to be met only in seals, whereas manuscripts and Μount Athos’ documents always use the form “Kataphloron” without any declination. Some isolated cases indicating separation of the proverb “κατά“ are only found in manuscripts later than the 13th century
