Two personal stamps

The first is a nice Greek Ottoman seal

نقوله بنده (؟) ولد دمترى

“Nikola Bende (?), son of Dimitri”

The second one, apart from the date of 1272, does not read in any of Arabic, Persian or Turkish and does not look genuine to me. The carving looks very sharp and fresh

Thank you very much, kwiatek.
The second seal caused many doubts, but your help put an end to these doubts.
Thank you again for the translation of the first seal and for the clarity of about the second.
