The mandatōr (), deriving from the Latin word for "messenger", was a subaltern official in the middle Byzantine Empire.
==History and functions== The mandatores were a corps of messengers for special duties attached to the bureaux of all senior civil and military officials, such as the thematic stratēgoi, the commanders of the tagmata, the logothetes and others. They were then headed by a prōtomandatōr (πρωτομανδάτωρ, "first mandatōr"), a mid-level official.
