[Footnote 31: Argyrus received, says the anonymous Chronicle
of Bari, Imperial letters, Foederatus et Patriciatus, et
Catapani et Vestatus. In his Annals, Muratori (tom. viii.
p. 426) very properly reads, or interprets, Sevestatus, the
title of Sebastos or Augustus. But in his Antiquities, he
was taught by Ducange to make it a palatine office, master
of the wardrobe.]
