[Footnote 52: Nicetas (in Alexio Comneno, l. iii. c. 9)
accuses the doge and Venetians as the first authors of the
war against Constantinople, and considers the arrival and
shameful offers of the royal exile. Note: He admits,
however, that the Angeli had committed depredations on the
Venetian trade, and the emperor himself had refused the
payment of part of the stipulated compensation for the
seizure of the Venetian merchandise by the emperor Manuel.
