From HandWiki
Hypertimos (Greek: ὑπέρτιμος, "most honorable one") is an ecclesiastical title in the Eastern Orthodox Churches following the Greek liturgical tradition, used to designate metropolitan bishops. The title originated in the 11th-century Byzantine Empire, where the philosopher Michael Psellos held this title at the end of his illustrious career;[1] and in the chrysobull to the Venetians of 1082, the title was also conferred on the Patriarch of Grado.[2]
