[Footnote 54: At the time of the synod, Phranzes was in
Peloponnesus: but he received from the despot Demetrius a
faithful account of the honorable reception of the emperor
and patriarch both at Venice and Ferrara, (Dux . . . .
sedentem Imperatorem adorat,) which are more slightly
mentioned by the Latins, (l. ii. c. 14, 15, 16.)]
