INDICES TO DUCAS' BYZANTINE HISTORY. GLOSSARY OF GRECO-BARBAROUS WORDS.
A
Page 33. 'Απληκεύειν (Aplekeuein). Πληκεύειν, Πληκεύων ἦν. The most learned Ismael Bullialdus thinks that Ducas wrote it with an "o" (ποκοπερ τοῦ). Constantine in his *Tactics*: "lest the army should encamp (πληκεύῃ) in more sparse locations." Meursius emended it to "lest it should encamp" (ἵνα ἀπληκεύῃ), as it is written there twice or three times immediately following. Leo, *Tactica*, ch. XIII, § 15: "And to depart into another encampment (πλήκτῳ)." The same author read "encampment" (ἀπλήκτῳ). Now, πληκεύειν or ἁπληκεύειν means to pitch camp or to stop for a rest. Theophanes in *Heraclius*: "They encamped (πλήκευσαν) near the city of Nineveh." See my notes on Cedrenus and the *Ecclesiastical History* of Anastasius regarding "he encamped" (ἠπλήκευσεν).
Page 68. 'Αποκρησάριος (Apocrisarios). "As also to become the catholic apocrisiarius of the king." Apocrisiarius. See my notes on Cedrenus, Nicetas, and Anastasius.
Page 84. Αρματα (Armata). Arms. Greek author: "They beached the galleys, and likewise the other small and large vessels immediately, and they will unload (ναταξερματώσουν) the covers (καλυπία) and rigging (ἄρμενα) and arms of every kind." See my notes on Cedrenus, Nicetas, Anastasius, and Constantine Manasses.
Page 171. Ἀρχιευνοῦχος (Archieunuchos). Arch-eunuch, the chief of the eunuchs.
Page 132. Ἄσπρον (Aspron). Asprum. A type of silver coin. For it is *aspron*, white. Index of Greco-Barbarian words in the *Iliad*: *leukolenos*, "white-armed" (ἄσπρες ταῖς ἀγκάλαις). I have spoken of this in my notes on Nicetas and Anastasius.
Page 54 and 58. Αὐθέντης (Authentes). Αυθεντία (Authentia). Lord, lordship. From this comes αὐθεντίζειν (authentizein) or αὐθεντεύειν (authentuein). Greco-Barbarian Index. Homeric *Iliad*: "all-ruling" (*pantanactes*), those who define all things, and act as masters (*authentuontes*). Ducas, pages 62, 69, 129. *Authentizein* in Theophanes. Anastasius translates it as "to act presumptuously" in his *Ecclesiastical History*, and thus it seems one should understand *authenticos* as it is used in Codinus in the *Excerpts*: "Moreover, the vulgar crowd saw the Latins entering the Great Palace as masters (*authenticos*), and suspected that a great evil would be suffered at their hands." The same Anastasius translates *authenticos* as "authoritatively." Today [we have] *aphentes* or *aphentia*, lordship, in the author of the Chronicle which is subjoined to Ducas. See my notes on Cedrenus and Nicetas.
B
Page 100. Βάλκα (Balka). Barca (a boat). Matthew Paris in [the reign of] Henry III: *Locutus fui cum quadam barca* (I spoke with a certain boat). See my notes on Nicetas.

Page 155. Βίγλα (Vigla). Watch, guard. The Continuator of Theophanes in *Theophilo*: "And the leader of such a fleet, the droungarios of the vigla, was called in this way, Orophas." Leo and Basil use this in their *Naumachica*. See the Glossary at Cedrenus, Nicetas, and Anastasius.
Page 99. Βικάριος (Vikarios). Vicar. See at Anastasius’ *Historia eccles.* under that word.
Γ
Page 107. Γαλεώτης (Galeotes). Galiote, brigantine. A small galley, a diminutive of γαλέα (galea) or γαλαία (galaia). For it is written in both ways. Leo, *Tact.* chap. XIX, § 74: "And the galleys." But in § 10 of the same chapter, it is written: "galaia." Matthew Paris in *Henry I*: "And with beaked ships, which they call galeias." Italian *galea*, Spanish *galera*, French *galère*.
Page 111. Γάρδία (Gardia). Παραφυλακή, custody, the guard.
Page 36. Γενητζάριδες (Genitzarides). "With him, silver-purchased slaves whom they call genitzarides." Servants bought with money, whom they call janissaries. Who are also *gianitzarides*. Anonymous author: "He has also fifteen thousand janissaries."

V, Reg. ed. num. 27: "to the Despoina his mother (others say *mana*) and to the Despoina his wife." Theophilus, *Institut.* III, tit. 6, at the end. See at Nicetas. Note by the way: *mana* for mother. Graeco-Barbarous author: "The child lost its mother, and the mother the child." See at Cedrenus under that term.
Page 61. Δεφενδεύειν (Defendeuein). To defend. Hence δεφένδευσις (defendeusis), defense. Acropolites page 6. See at Nicetas.
Page 147. Διακαινίσιμος (Diakainisimos). Diacanesimus. See the Notes, and Jacob Gretser in his observations on Codinus, chap. 14.
Page 30. Δούκας (Doukas). Dux (Duke). See at Cedrenus, and at Nicetas under *kentos*.
Page 87. Δρουγγάριος (Droungarios). Fleet commander. See at Cedrenus, and Constant. Manass. To him were subject the counts. See under "Count."
Page 106. Ἐνορδίνως (Enordinōs). In order. Eustathius II, *psi*: "They stood in order." Theophanes in *Justiniano iuniore*: "Having disturbed the models established in order by his own father," or "in order." Thus *enorinoi dicastai* (officious judges) and *enordinon dicasterion* are said, meaning: ordinary judges, and ordinary court, in Theodore Hermopolites, lib. VII, tit. 2, and in Constantinus Harmenop. *Epitom.* lib. I, tit. IV, § 61 and 62. Which are *ordinarioi dicastai* in *Novella* Coll. 5, *embathmoi*, in the *Basilica*, as *ordinarios archon*, in Synesius, epistola CXLIV. Both are derived *apo tou ordinou*, that is, from "order." Horapollo, *Hieroglyph.* chap. XCIV, or XC: "For these keep themselves watching in order throughout the whole night." Constantine in the *Tactics*: "Having orders (ordinous) of sixteen men." And shortly after: "And the orders of the foot soldiers of each separate unit, etc." Leo, *Tactic.* chap. IX, § 55: "either in order or in battle array." Eustathius at *Il. alpha*: "From the Homeric *obelos* (spit), the graphical sign was transferred, the *obelos*, which is a straight line placed before lines, that is, of orders, outside." Anonymous author, *Panar.* against delinquent monks, found among the writings of Basil the Great: "If someone does not bear the blessing unto his own order." And ibid: "If someone removes his brother from the order of service." Hence *ordinaios*. Glossary ms.: *ordinaios*, thereafter, after these. *Ordineuein* or *proordineuein*. Leo, *Tact.* chap. XV, § 51: "And thus it behooves to pre-arrange (proordineuein) the bands." And *ordiniasein*. Alexius Rharturus *Doct. 1 su.* Graeco-Barbarous author: "And the others he ordered (ordiniase)." *Corona pretiosa*: to prepare, *na ordiniase*. Index in *Iliad. Graeco-Barb.*: He prepares, he puts in order.

Page 119. Καδδηνάλιος (Kaddinaxios). Cardinal. Theod. Bals. at *Nomocanon* of Photius, tit. VI, chap. 1: "as of a cardinal." Thus in the ms. codex which Meursius used, and it does not need emendation as he himself thought. See at Nicetas.
Page 25. Κάδης (Kades). Judge. See Meursius.
Page 8. Καθοσίωσις (Kathosiōsis). Instead of *kathosiōseos*, crime of lèse-majesté. I spoke of this at Theophilus, *Institutionis* IV, tit. ult., § 3, and Salmasius at *Hist. A. Scriptores*.
Page 64. Καλόγηρος (Kalogeros). John Moschus, *Limonar.* chap. 45. Today *kalogeros*. See at Nicetas.
Page 197. Καμπάνα (Kampana). Bell. Hence *kampanarion*, for the tower in which the bell is hung. Astrampsychus, *in Pythagoico laseutēriō*, signifies into a road, both long and high, similar to a tower, a bell-column.
Page 33. Κάμπος (Kampos). Campus (field). Theodore Lector, *Eccles. Hist.* lib. I: "In the litanies which took place in the campus," it occurs often in the same author. Alexander the monk, *de Inventione S. Crucis*: "There appeared to him in the campus, while spending time with the soldiers around noon, a pillar-like cross," which exists in the same words in the hitherto unpublished *Chronicle* of Julius Pollux. Theophanes in *Justiniano Iun.*: "The crowd having been scattered like sheep onto the camps." Index *Iliados Graeco-Barbaræ*: "Plains, the camps." Also *pedion* (plain), *kampon*.
Page 181. Καπιτάνεος (Kapitaneos). Dux, captain. Council of Florence, sess. XXV: "For I sent at that time a captain into Venice to prepare galleys." Council of Ephesus, act. III: "The most magnificent captain wrote to the prince and clergy."
Page 118. Κάρβουνον (Karbounon). *Karbon* in the *Basilica*, coal, and *denrdikardones*, Greeks at 1. 5, § 2, D. *ad exhibendum karbōnarios*, coal-man. Helladius at Photius: "that an anthracite in common usage is a carbonarius."
Page 233. Καρίπιδες (Karipides). Newcomers.
Page 169. Καστέλιον (Kastellion). Castle. Anonymous in *Romano imp.*: "In another very fortified castle." From this *kasteloun*. Theophanes in *Phoca*: "Bearing many castles having in their rigging boxes and icons of the Theotokos." See other Glossaries.
Page 40. Καστελλάνια (Kastellania). Region.
Page 40. Κάστρον (Kastron). Town. Anonymous author in the *Life of Basil the emperor*: "He arms himself against the castle of Euripus." Cedrenus about the same, page 580: "He attacks the city of Euripus." Hence *kastro-logia*, the capture of cities. See at Cedrenus, Nicetas, and the Index of the Gloss. of Anastas. *Historike*.
Page 202. Κάτεργα (Katerga). Triremes. Council of Florence, page 567, German edition. Graeco-Barbarous author.
Barb. Νασύρουσιν τὰ κάτεργα εἰς γῆν A. Vide supra, 1η καπιτάνιος, and the Gloss. to Nicetas. Page 142. Κέλλη. A monk’s cell. Anonymous in *Constantine, son of Leo*: "The king, having barely passed through the cells of the holy fathers, arrived." Or: "He returned to the cells of the holy fathers." Page 143. Κελλίον. A small cell. St. Athanasius in his *Sermon on the Images of our Lord Jesus Christ*. It is referred to, moreover, in the first Synod of Nicaea, act 4: "A certain Christian received [it] in his own cell from someone." Theodore the Studite in his *Testament, not yet edited in Greek*: "Do not build a youth into your cell [to serve] as a disciple." An anonymous writer in [the life of] *Leo the Emperor*: "And Samonas says: 'If you wish to be satisfied, send whom you wish to my cell.'" Add Novella CXLI, cap. 1, and Glycas, page 287, Reg. edition. *Κελλίον* is accepted not only for a monk's cell, but also for a small room or inner chamber, even of princes. Palladas, *Anthology*, book 11, tit. 49, epigram 7: "I gave the cell yesterday to the one who sells ptisan." Hence *κελλιῶται* for monks, and for the ministers of the inner bedchamber in Chalcocondyles, page 247, and Phranzes. See also Nicetas, page 326, concerning these. See there the Gloss. on the word *κελλίον*. You may also see the Gloss. to Cedrenus on the same word. In the ms. codex of Chalcocondyles, however, *κελιώτην* is read. Page 47. Κλεισούρα. A closing, or mountain pass. Joannes Curopalates, page 844: "Through the pass of Podandus, he arrives in Cilicia." Codinus in *Excerpts*: "He was blinded in the pass of the Makre." See to Cedrenus, Nicetas, and Anastasius. Page 291. Κλητοί. Those summoned (the *evocati*). In the margin of the Royal codex, *Pregati*. Page 87. Κόμης. A Count (*comes*). He was subordinate to the Drungarius. He who is vulgarly called *comite* today, but *come* by Provincials, differs much from this Count; for this man was in charge of three or five triremes, and was their leader, as the Emperor Leo writes in *Tact.*, chapter XIX, § 23. But the other is intent on the oars, is in charge of the rowing, and sees to it that the rowers ply the oars as the situation requires, or also that they lower or raise the sails. Finally, at a signal given, he instructs them how to ply the oars, and admonishes those who are sluggish in their rowing. Nor does *πρωτοκόμης* pertain to this, who was in charge of the other counts; for today individual counts are put in charge of individual triremes, and one is not in charge of another. However, the Count has one who fulfills his role if he himself is absent, whom we call *subcomes*, or *soutocome*. See Codinus *de Offic.*, cap. 5, num. 93, and the Glossary to Nicetas. Page 198. Κουρεύειν. To make an excursion. Page 106. Κουρσεύειν. To plunder. Hence *κοῦρσον*, for an incursion and booty. The *Continuator of Theophanes* in *Theophilus*: "Having caused the raids of the Saracens to be driven to some other place." Another author in *The Life of Basil the Emperor*: "He sent a raid of chosen soldiers against the place called Zapetra." An anonymous writer in [the life of] *Romanus, son of Constantine*: "To drive raids, and take captive, and plunder the Roman land." See to Cedr. and Nicetas. Page 19. Κράλης. King of the Hungarians, Bulgarians, and Serbs. Joannes Cantacuzenus, book 3, cap. 89: "He provided the title of *Kral* to his son." See the *Pandecta Turcica* of Joannes Leunclavius, cap. 51. Page 198. Κύρις. Lord. See the Glossary to Cedr. and Anastasius. Page 198. Κῦρος. Lord. It exists in Chalcoc., page 264, which is also *κῦρ*, *Chir*, in Leonardus Chiensis. Today they also say *χῦρος*. Page 21. Λαΐνα. An amphora. Today it is called a pottery vessel (*figulus*), *λαϊνᾶς*. Page 55. Λεγεών. A legion. See the Glossary to Nicetas and Manasses. Page 202. Δῶρα. Gifts, or wages. [M] Page 59. Μαγίστωρ. Who is also *Maistor*. Master. V. Gl. to Constant. Manasses. Page 164. Μανουάλια. Candelabra. See Gl. to Nicetas. Page 54. Μαρκέσιος. Marquis. (Who is *Markeses* in Joannes Cantacuzenus, *Hist.* book IV, cap. 3, and Anna, *Alex.* VII). Page 169. Μεγαλοὺξ. Grand Duke. Page 58. Μεγαμαγίστωρ. Grand Master. *Le grand Maître de Rhodes*. Ibid. Μεσάζων. *Μεσάζειν*, Vizier. A counselor. See the Note to page LXXXVIII. A Graeco-Barbarous author in his historical narrative concerning Belisarius: "The *mesazontes* [counselors] of the Great King," that is, as it appears, the counselors of the prince. It has other meanings, or certainly various functions. Joannes Cantacuzenus, *Hist.* book I, cap. 30: "He was *mesazon* to the Empress." They translate: Prefect of the Empress's court, or curator. Hence *μεσάζειν*, in the same book, cap. 15: "He was entrusted with the office of *mesazon*." He obtained the office of administrator. They think him the same as he whom the J.C. calls "Count of the Private Estates." See the annotations of the very learned Jacobus Pontanus to book I, cap. 2. Here Nicetas of Manuel Comnenus, book I, num. 5, page 31 of the Reg. edition, where it is read, must be corrected: "And a care-taker, a *mesevonta* and a servant of personal decrees." For I think Nicetas wrote: "Care-taker and of...," etc., and that word, *μεσεύοντα*, slipped into the context in place of an interpretation, or was perhaps adjoined in the margin from a Graeco-Barbarous codex of Nicetas. For in a Graeco-Barbarous codex it is read thus: "Managing the personal affairs." Therefore *ὑποθέσεις* are *διατάγματα* (decrees); and so that word must be understood in Codinus *de Officiis*, cap. 1, num. 9. In the Index of Nicetas, *μεσάζων* is expounded as a *φροντιστής* (manager). But in the Glossary it is written thus: "*Μεσεάζων*, a care-taker and servant of personal decrees." See to Codin. *de Officiis*. Page 142. Μονάζουσαι. *Μονάστριας*. Nuns. See the Glossary to Const. Manasses. Page 40. Μπαιούλος. Bailiff. V. Meurs. in this word. N. Page 197. Νάρθηκας. For *νάρθηξ*. See to Cedrenus. Page 51. Νοτάρας. Notary, whom others call *νοτάριος*. See to Cedr. Ξ. Page 122. Ξόριδες. It was read thus in the written codex which Meursius used. In the Royal codices it is read thus: "And those who are the wardens of the gates, *vixorides*, so called as the messengers of the King." Ο. Page 140. Ὀρταγή. A comrade. See the note on page 265. Page 201. Ὀσπίτια. Houses. An anonymous writer in [the life of] *Romanus the Emperor*: "And having made stables and houses, of the best sort, and beds for all the foreigners entering, and those receiving justice, he prepared [them]." The author of the Index to Homer’s *Iliad*, Graeco-Barb.: "Houses, he prepared a home." See Gl. to Nicetas. Page 268. Οὔλακις. See the Glossary to Cedr. in *κουρσωρ*. Page 91, 170, 172. Ὀφφικιάλιος. An official, or magistrate. Theodore Hermopolites, book VI, tit. 2, explaining § 3 D. *de Offic. procons.*: "And he is appointed not only to the Proconsul to do no such thing, but also to every official." Page 76. Ὀφφίκιον. Office. Joannes Curopalates in *Isaac Comnenus*: "He himself first curtailed the giving of offices." Joannes Cantacuzenus, *Histor.* book IV, cap. 55: "That if any of the archons in Wallachia should wish to obtain offices." See Nicephorus Callistus, tom. II, page 519.
A Page 9. Ὀψικιοῦν. To augment someone in office and dignity. Page 159. Παραπόρτια. Little doors. See to Cedrenus and Nicetas. Page 69. Πάτρων. Patron. Horapollo. Book XLVII, "a man fleeing to his own patron." See the Scholiast of Euripides on verse 420 of *Hecuba* and the Basilic Glosses. Page 104. Πιγκέρνης. Cupbearer, server of wine. Manuscript Glossaries: *oinocoo*, *pikerne*. Leo Grammaticus: "And the *Aspathes* Georgius, and the cupbearer, and Thomas, the *primikerios*, having been scourged and shorn." Nicephorus Gregoras and Joannes Cantacuzenus use it. In a certain fragment of the Frankish Annals, Eberhard is given the duty of cupbearer. See under *Expantarios*. Page 145. Πνευματικός. Πνευματικεύειν. Confessor. To perform the duty of a confessor. The same, page 147. Page 91. Ποδέστα. Ποδεστάτος. Ποδεστατία. Podestà, Podestatus. Podestatia. The first and second denote a person. The third, a dignity. Podestatus, says Codinus, *On Offices*, cap. VII, num. 17, (or praetor) of the Genoese in Galata. See Nicephorus Gregoras, book V, sect. 9. Page 181. Πλοκάδια. Ropes. See, however, Meursius. Page 27. Πόρτα. Satellites of the Turkish emperors. Page 190. 156. Πραΐδα. Πραιδεύειν. Booty. To plunder. An anonymous writer in the *Life of Constantine, son of Leo*: "having taken the booty." Leo Grammaticus: "And plundering the things outside the city." See to Cedrenus. Page 56. Πρίγκιψ. Πρίγγιψ. Πριγγίπισσα. Prince. Joannes Curopalates, in his *Historical Breviary*: "being a daughter of a prince." In the Basilic Glosses, however, it is written *prigkips*. Joannes Cantacuzenus, *Hist.* book II, cap. 53: "To Taranto, holding [the position of] princess." It is written thus also in the *Alexiad* of Anna Comnena. Page 129. Πρωτοοστιάριος. First ostiarius. An *ostiarios* is a doorkeeper. Concerning his duty, see the Notes to Codinus, cap. I, num. 40. Page 122. Πρωτοστράτωρ. Prefect of the armies. See Nicetas on Baldwin of Flanders, page 387, c. of the Royal edition. Codinus, *On Offices*, cap. 5, num. 17, seems to mean that the *protostrator* is not called so because he is the first of the imperial *stratores*—that is, of those who helped the emperor onto his horse, about whom we have already treated in [the sections on] Cedrenus and Nicetas—but because he would precede the whole army. The *protostrator*, therefore, about whom Ducas and Chalcocondyles write, is the first commander of war, or prefect of the army. Page 202. Πρωτοσύμβουλος. Protosymbulus. Prince of the council. Theophanes: "The *protosymbulos*, having learned these things." The Continuator of Theophanes on Theophilus: "He wished to pray together with the patrician [who was] the *protosymbulos*." See Cedrenus, page 443. B
P Page 30. Ῥήγας. Or Ῥῆγας. King. Those who [are listed as] *rhyades* in the Greco-Barbarian code of Nicetas, in a purer text are *dynastai*. See the Glossary and Index in the same place. Page 122. Ῥηγένη. Queen. Page 193. Ῥόγα. Ῥογεύειν. Roga, donative, stipend. An anonymous author in the *Life of the Emperor Basil*: "And greeting them with the granting of annual stipends and other rations and gifts." And in [the life of] Constantine, son of Leo: "Having performed the customary distribution of the *roga* among the troops." But to *rogeuein* is to grant *rogas*, to pay a salary, "to provide the daily provision," which is *do- | uouein* in the Greco-Barbarian codex of Nicetas, or to hire with a salary, as in Ducas, page 12, 101, 121, as in Nicetas C Greco-Barbarian: to *rogeuein* the infantry or mercenary army, which is *to levy* in a purer codex. See the Glossary to Cedrenus and Nicetas.
Σ Page 192. Σάγισμα. A horse's covering. See the Glossary to Nicetas. Page 182. Σαρακύριδες. Turkish soldiers. Page 164. Σουδάριον. Band and fillet. This word exists in the New Testament. *Life of St. Macarius the Roman*, cap. XX: "Then I saw a delicate small band lying on the ground, delightful to the eyes." The Menaea have *soudarion*. Alcuinus, *On the Divine Offices*: "A sudarium, which it is the custom to carry in the hand for wiping away sweat, which by the common name we call a *fanon*." Concerning the *fanon*, see Vossius, book II *On the Vices of Speech*, cap. 6, and in the Addenda. Concerning the *sudarium*, see Gregory of Nyssa, tom. II, page 837; Chrysostom, *Homily 3 on the Epistle to the Hebrews*; Nicephorus Callistus, tomo I, page 173; Oecumenius in *Acts*, page 145. Page 17. Σπαθίζειν. To kill, to slay with the sword. Menaea, month of June, day 18: "The holy Theodulus to be put to the sword, and thus their heads to be cut off." Page 202. Σπαθίον. Theophanes on Heraclius: "His sword [was] all-gold." See to the history of Anastasius. Page 172. Σπεκουλάτωρ. Satellites, Spiculator. Julius Firmicus Maternus, book VIII, cap. 26: "He will make *spiculatores*, who with naked sword cut off the necks of men." Abdias the Apostle, *History* IV: "He asked the *spiculator* that the facility of water might be granted to him." It is also written thus in the *Acts of the holy martyrs Tharacus, Probus, and Andronicus*; and in the *Passion of Abundius and Abundantius*. The Greeks write *spekoulator*, as in the Gospel of St. Mark, cap. VI, verse 27, who [is] a *spiculator* to the old interpreter. St. Athanasius, *Apology* II: "And a *speculator* was present." Manuscript Glossaries: *speculator*, executioner. In the Greco-Latin glossaries, however, it is written *speculator* and explained as *demios*, as from *deine* and *apokephalizo* [behead], because he performed the office of an executioner. And in Suetonius' *Augustus*, cap. 27, and in law *Divos 6, D.* on condemned property, which is book LX, tit. 52 of the Basilic, *[the executioner]*: "But they themselves are also called satellites, or *doryphoroi* [spearmen], *spiculatores* in the old Onomasticon." And so those who think *spiculatores* are called so from *spicula* [spears]. Those who translate [the Greek as] *dioptas* [observers] or *dioptas and investigators* altogether understand them as *speculatores* [watchers]. Certainly, Cujacius, in the cited tit. 52, translates *apoktemnonta* as *spiculator*, and Bonaventura Vulcanius in the *Notes to the Latino-Greek Glossary* writes that it is clumsily confounded there, *speculator* with *spiculator*. Salmasius, however, in his *Notes on Aelius Spartianus*, says it is certain that those who read *spiculatores* are mistaken. Those who have gone to the grammarians for judgment will define this. Page 55. Στέμμα. Imperial crown and diadem. Codinus *On Offices*, cap. 10, num. 3 and cap. 20, num. 4. Page 188. Σύρ. Lord.
T Page 184. Ταξείδιον. Expedition. Glycas, page 307. Constantine in *Tactics*: "For they ought always to prepare the things [necessary] for the need of the expedition." Page 192. Ταπηστήρια. Rugs. Page 140. Τατάς. Preceptor. See the Notes to Codinus, cap. 2, num. 36. Page 37. Τέντα. Tent, Tabernacle. See the Glossary to Nicetas. Page 39 and 106. Τεντόω. To pitch camp in a place, to pitch tents. Page 84. Τζάγρα, Tzagra. So it is constantly written. *Tzagra*, however, is explained as a javelin, page LXXXIV; it is also an instrument by which a javelin is thrown. Anna Comnena *Alexiad* VIII: "Someone of the Latin troops throws [a bolt] through the *tzagra* against the helmet." Hence *tzagrator*, page C., *tzigrator*; *apothysis*, a discharge of *tzagra*; D

But whether you translate *tzagra* more correctly as *balista* [catapult], and *tzagratoras* as *balistarii* [catapultiers], makes me doubt, because I read *balistarios* in Justinian, *Nov.* LXXXV, ch. 2 and 3; or *balistophoros hamaxas* [catapult-carrying wagons], that is, those containing the so-called *toxobolistras* [arch-throwers], in Leo, *Tact.* ch. 14, § 83. It is written this way also in Theophanes in two manuscripts, and it was not written otherwise in the codex of Anastasius, who translates it as *arcubolistas*. I think, however, it should be read *toxobolistras*. An anonymous author in the *Life of Emperor Basil* writes: *toxobolistrais*, and by the hand-throwing of stones. I also read *cheirobolistras*, that is, *falaricas* [incendiary javelins], in the Glosses, which were launched by hand, regarding which see Servius on verse 705, *Aeneid* IX, and Vegetius. It seems, therefore, that *tzagra* is an instrument other than the *balista*. Nicetas, page LIII, placed *toxotas* [archers] and *tzagratoras* as different things.

On Holy Saturday laurel is scattered before the emperor, 72. And on the fifth week of Quadragesima the *acathistus* hymn to the Mother of God is celebrated, 321. *Saccus* is the imperial garment, 50. When being created, [the emperor] is dressed in it, 89. It differs from the *mandya*, 313. The *saccus* is also a patriarchal garment, ibid., 169. The *phelonion* has the form of a *saccus*, 167. It signifies the sack in which Christ was clothed for mockery, ibid. From *saccus* and *sacculus* (in its first and obvious meaning of a small bag) are derived *sacella*, *sacellum*, the great and small *sacellarius*, 121. *Sacellia* is a Syriac word for a receptacle, 125. *Sacellarius* the great, an office of the Church of Constantinople, also of the first pentad and among the *exocatacoeli*, 117.

When the emperor is crowned, they go around carrying the holy objects, 94. With the sacred [elements] taken from the prothesis, they hold chalices in the procession, 365. Priests used to celebrate the sacrifice with uncovered head, 169. That deacons can rightly perform the role of the priest is proven by Calecas, refuting the contrary error of the Greeks, 137. That the *panagia* is consecrated by them is a strange fable of Junius, with Meursius as his colluder, 299. That priests should not be over 60 years old was ordained by Justinian; Heraclius permits up to 80 in the Great Church, 112. The *exocatacoeli* priests used to care for their own churches, 66.
Sacred or holy [elements] are reserved in the prothesis, 95, 365. They are carried around the temple in a solemn procession, 363.

That communicants might receive the blood (SS.) warm, hot water was accustomed to be poured into the consecrated chalice, 162. Saravia the Calvinist proves that the titles of ecclesiastical dignities should be retained, against Beza, 165. Sarbarus, a war leader under Chosroes, attacking the city, is repelled by the aid of the Theotokos, 321. Tyre is called Sarra, whence the *Sarran* purple and perhaps the *scaranicon* was made and named, 229. The *scaramanga* is a garment given at the *roga* to keep off rain, 312. The nobles wear the *scaranicon*, 14, 99. On the *scaranicon* are representations of angels, 17, 235. The reading is to be retained regarding the *scaramangion*, 229.

CHAP. III. — The death of Orchan, son of Osman: Morates his son, having attained the empire, brings war upon Lazarus, the despot of Serbia. He is killed by the young Serbian; after which slaughter the Turks enter battle. The Serbians fall and are afflicted with a great slaughter. Lazarus alive and many of the Serbian nobles are captured and killed in the tents of Morates. The empire is granted by the Viziers to the younger of the sons of Morates. Bajazites blinds the older brother, having oppressed him by fraud. 763
CHAP. IV. — Bajazites imposes tribute upon the Serbians, orders Stephen, son of Lazarus, to serve him militarily, and takes his sister Maria as his wife. He despoils the ruler of Carmania in Phrygia. He invades Ionia. He receives Saruchan by surrender and brings the rulers of Asia into order. He occupies Philadelphia and restores the fortress of Callipolis. 767
CHAP. V. — The beginnings of the discord between John Cantacuzenus and the Empress Anna and the nobles of her court. Cantacuzenus departed from the city; his adversaries attack him by guile; he is warned by friends, who are therefore thrown into prison by Alexius Apocaucus; they kill Apocaucum, and on account of this almost all of them are killed. Michael Ducas, the grandfather of the author on his father's side. 769
CHAP. VI. — Cantacuzenus assumes the purple buskins, the emperor is saluted, and he flees to the Serbian Cral, and with him he strikes an alliance. 777
CHAP. VII. — Homur, son of Atinis, having crossed the Hellespont, comes into Europe, reaches Callipolis, and proceeds to Didymotichum where the wife of Cantacuzenus was staying. The Turks ravage Thrace. Smyrna is captured by the knights of the military order of Jerusalem. Homur attempts to recover it in vain, and falls in the siege. 781
CHAP. VIII. — Cantacuzenus returns to Thrace. Empress Anna seeks and obtains aid from Orchan. The Turks ravage the provinces of the empire and lead away captives. 785
CHAP. IX. — Cantacuzenus, having promised to give his own daughter to Orchan as a wife, averts him from the pact made with Anna, and obtains auxiliary forces from him. The nuptials are celebrated. Cantacuzenus sets out for Constantinople, and though he exhorts the citizens to surrender in vain, he enters the city through the help of his friends. 787
CHAP. X. — Cantacuzenus is received within the palace. He approaches Anna, who was sitting with an intrepid mind and undaunted countenance, and does her homage; he renders her placated to himself, settles the tumult, and softens the plebs.

CHAP. XI. — Emperor John, alienated from his father-in-law, departs for Italy, from where, having returned, he discusses plans with Gatalusius concerning the recovery of the empire and the city. By the stratagem of Gatalusius, John Palaeologus recovers Constantinople, and Cantacuzenus embraces the monastic life. 797
CHAP. XII. — Andronicus, the eldest of the sons of Emperor John, and Cuntuzes, the second-born son of Morates, conspire against their parents and discuss plans for seizing the tyranny: these things being revealed, Morates blinds his own son, and signifies to John that if he wishes to have peace with him, he should also blind Andronicus, to which John, complying, deprives his son and through him also his grandson of sight, and throws them into prison. Andronicus, liberated by the help of the Genoese, invades the empire and puts his father and brothers into prison; by guile they liberate themselves, and John is restored to the imperial throne. Manuel is designated as his successor. The nuptials of Gatalusius and Maria Palaeologina. 803
CHAP. XIII. — Bajazites imposes tribute upon John and demands that another of his sons come to serve him in war. He invades the Cyclades islands. John fortifies Constantinople, tears down the bulwarks built by himself at the command of Bajazites, and finally dies. Manuel, who was serving under Bajazites and living in his court, having heard of his father's death, secretly arrives at Constantinople. Bajazites, bearing this ill, imposes heavy and harsh conditions upon him, occupies Thessalonica, harasses Constantinople, and prevents food supplies from being brought into it. The Hungarians and the greatest part of the western princes move against Bajazites, and at Nicopolis they are slaughtered and conquered by the Turks. 807
CHAP. XIV. — Bajazites requests that Constantinople be surrendered to him: and with Manuel ejected, he constitutes John as emperor. Manuel, consulting for the safety of the city and the people, departs from Constantinople into the Peloponnese, from there sets out for Italy, and after having traversed the western kingdoms and provinces, returns to the Peloponnese. 817
CHAP. XV. — John obtains a precarious empire from Bajazites and receives a Cadin, or Muslim judge, within the walls of the city. Ambassadors from Temyr Chane arrive at Bajazites, who is immersed in pleasures, and they depart having been treated with insult by Bajazites: he himself then moves into Armenia. He demands Constantinople from John, but the Constantinopolitans refuse to make a surrender. Temyr invades Syria, takes cities by storm, and rages inhumanly against the inhabitants. He plunders and ravages Damascus and Aleppo. 821
CHAP. XVI. — Temyr moves towards the Tanais. Bajazites levies an army and meets Temyr, who was holding camp at Ancyra. A comet shines. The battle is begun by the Temyrians against the forces of Bajazites: Bajazites is deserted by a great part of his forces. He is conquered. Captured, he is brought to Temyr, who was rejoicing over Zatrichius or the Schach. Temyr consoles Bajazites and deports himself humanely toward him, though he keeps him closely guarded nonetheless. Through all of lesser Asia the forces
of Temyris spread out. Mehemetes attempts to liberate his father by cunning, but in vain. Chociapherutzes, the chief of the eunuchs, is captured alongside his master Bajazites and, by Temyr's command, is beheaded. 827
CAP. XVII. Temyr visits and captures several cities of Asia, devastating everything with fire and pillage. He seizes the treasures of Bajazites stored at Prusa, or Brusa. He takes Smyrna by storm; the princes of the Phocæans, to render him placable, send envoys to him and win him over with gifts. He traverses Caria and then turns his march toward Salutaria, and there Bajazites dies. Temyr returns to Persia, the expedition having lasted a year. 841
CAP. XVIII. Emperor Manuel returns to Byzantium and relegates John, his brother's nephew, to Lemnos. He enters into a treaty and friendship with the Mussulman, the son of Bajazites. The state of affairs in Asia after the departure of Temyr Chan. Ese, or Iss, the son of Bajazites, is sought out in war by his brother Mehemetes, is captured under the leadership of Temyrte, and is strangled with a noose.

Homur, the son of Atinis, contracts an affinity with Cineites and dies shortly thereafter. A Mussulman expedition against Cineites. The petty kings of Asia conspire against the Mussulman, but they are driven apart by mutual suspicions. 819
CAP. XIX. Moses defects from his brother Mehemetes and retreats into Wallachia, and he invades the territory of his brother the Mussulman. While the Mussulman is looking to his own safety in flight, he is killed by youths in a certain town; Moses burns the town and its inhabitants, moves into Serbia, and then besieges Constantinople in vain. Emperor Manuel calls forth and incites Mehemetes against Moses. Mehemetes is defeated twice and retreats to Byzantium; eventually, he conquers Moses; the latter is killed while fleeing, and his corpse is brought to Prusa to be buried. 861
CAP. XX. Manuel sends apocrisiaries to Mahometes; other princes also send envoys, whom Mahometes receives kindly, and he embraces peace with all. Manuel gives the daughter of the Great Duke of Russia as a wife to his son John, who dies of the plague, as does one of the sons of Bajazites—the one who had been baptized. John's second and third marriages. Manuel's departure for the Peloponnese. 871
CAP. XXI. Mahometes crosses into Asia. He brings Cineites to order, whose insolence was very great. The Grand Master of Rhodes restores the citadel of Smyrna, but is forbidden by Mahometes. Smyrna is surrendered to Mahometes by the wife of Cineites. The Grand Master is permitted to build a citadel on the borders of Caria and Lycia. Cineites obtains forgiveness. The Turks attack Naxos in a naval war and are defeated in battle by the Venetian fleet. The Venetians attempt to take the tower of Lampsacus in vain. Cineites is put in charge at Nicopolis on the Danube. A new sect of religion in Ionia, instituted by a Turkish monk, is embraced by many, against whom Mahometes sends the son of Susman and then Hall Begum: they die having accomplished nothing successfully. Eventually, they are oppressed and destroyed by Morates, the son of Mahometes, and Bajazite Bassa, and those who professed voluntary poverty are put to death. 879
CAP. XXII. The Grand Master of Rhodes builds the citadel of Petronium on the borders of Caria. Mahometes crosses into Asia, invades Caramanus, and brings him to order. Mustapha, the son of Bajazites, becomes known, and Cineites joins himself to these, who are defeated by Mahometes near Thessalonica. Mahometes demands those who had fled to Thessalonica from Demetrius Leontarius, who refuses the request to the Emperor. Manuel denies that he will surrender them to Mahometes. Mustapha and Cineites are sent to Constantinople by Leontarius, and from there both are relegated to Lemnos to be held in custody. Mahometes brings war against the Wallachians. A certain Theologus of Philadelphia, a wicked and treacherous man. Mahometes, while hunting, is struck by apoplexy and dies a few days later, a hemiplegic. The reasons why Mahometes had preferred his son to Amasia. The duties of a faithful servant toward Bajazites Bassa. Mahometes' instructions to Bajazite Bassa. By what arts Mahometes' death was concealed for forty days until the arrival of Morates. 893
CAP. XXIII. Morates comes to Prusa. Mahumetes' death is made public to the masses by the bassas. The viziers depart for Prusa, carrying with them the corpse of the deceased sultan. Envoys from neighboring princes are sent to Morates. Manuel demands from Morates that his underage brothers be surrendered to him according to the testament of Mahumetes, in vain, and for this reason he brings Mustapha and Cineites onto the scene against Morates. Some customs of the Turks are explained. 99 [sic]
CAP. XXIV. Demetrius Leontarius transports Mustapha and Cineites into Thrace, having made a pact with them concerning the recovery of certain cities. Mustapha besieges Callipolis and solicits its surrender, which follows. The citadel meanwhile stands in loyalty, which Leontarius besieges. Morates, having learned of the rebellion of Mustapha, puts Bajazites Bassa—who was obeying the opinion of the other viziers—in charge of the army and sends him against Mustapha. Bajazites, as the commanders of his army defected to Mustapha at the beginning of the battle, was himself forced to submit to the victor; then, by the command of Cineites, his head was amputated. Mustapha proceeds to Adrianople. Callipolis surrenders to Leontarius, which, when he prepares to secure it for the Emperor according to the pacts, is blocked by Cineites, and being deceived, he returns to Constantinople. 923
CAP. XXV. Emperor Manuel plans to enter into a treaty with Morates. Mustapha organizes his affairs and then gives himself over entirely to leisure and sloth. Morates seriously deliberates about recovering the empire, and sends Abraham Bassa to Manuel, who departs having accomplished nothing. The defeat of Alumnis in Phocis. A new Phocæa is founded, governed by Andreas and Jacobus Cataneus, and it becomes tributary to the Turks. Joannes Adurnus, the rector of Phocæa, visits Mahometes and then Morates, and promises him his services by letter for the transport of himself and his troops. Mustapha becomes despondent at the news of Morates' crossing into Europe. Cineites speaks to him and rebukes him, and persuades him to cross into Asia; meanwhile, he himself conspires to desert Mustapha. Mustapha arrives at Lampsacus and proceeds as far as Lopadium, the bridge of which Morates occupies first and breaks. 911
CAP. XXVI. The viziers of Morates take counsel about destroying Mustapha, and they solicit Cineites for defection through his brother Hamza. The conversations of Hamza and Cineites. Cineites deserts Mustapha and flees into Ionia. He seeks out Mustapha, the son of Homur, who was born of Atine, in war and kills him in battle. 933
CAP. XXVII. Various rumors regarding the flight of Cineites, upon learning of which Mustapha takes to flight and crosses into Thrace. Adurnus transports Morates and his troops from Asia into Europe, which Mustapha, fearing, attempts to prevent with broad promises, but in vain. Morates, having landed with his troops, puts the forces of Mustapha to flight, recovers Callipolis, and makes for Adrianople. Mustapha is captured and, in a public place in the city, is suspended by a noose and strangled. 963
CAP. XXVIII. Morates begins to besiege Constantinople, with Emperor John administering the affairs of the empire on account of the old age and infirmities of Manuel. Corax the theologian is condemned for treason; wishing to avenge his death, Morates hastens to put Michael Pyllis to death for having denounced Corax; Pyllis, by impiously denying Christ and the faith, saves his life. Manuel rouses Mustapha, an eight-year-old boy and brother of Morates, against him, and he dies immediately. Mustapha is captured at Nicæa and strangled by his brother. Morates invades Thessaly and the Peloponnese. He brings war against Cineites through his own bassas and defeats him; and at length he destroys him and his entire lineage by massacre. 969
CAP. XXIX. John observes the peace agreed upon with Morates. Morates confirms the peace with other princes, from which the Venetians were excluded on account of their occupation of Thessalonica. The causes on account of which Thessalonica came into the power of the Venetians are related in passing. Thessalonica is besieged and taken by storm and pillaged by Morates, and new inhabitants are sent into it. The Venetians, fearing worse outcomes, enter into peace with Morates. The princes of Wallachia overthrow one another from the royal throne; Draculius, having killed the others, remained as voivode of Wallachia. On account of a horse denied to him by Caramanus, Morates brings war against him: and peace is established between the two shortly thereafter. 983
CAP. XXX. Morates demands Serbia from Georgius, son of Wulcius. Georgius gives him his daughter in marriage, with a portion of Serbia granted as a dowry. Morates invades Hungary in vain under the leadership of Draculius. Morates brings war against his father-in-law Georgius, captures cities, and blinds his brothers-in-law. Draculius, having been thrust into prison, is liberated after hostages are given. Morates besieges Belgrade in vain. 995
CAP. XXXI. For the sake of celebrating a synod, the Emperor sets out for Italy, whom the patriarch and others accompanied. What was done at Florence, and what happened after the return of the Greeks to their homeland, is narrated. 1005
