ΓΛΩΣΣΑΡΙΟ

 

consul, -lis
An official of the Roman state. In the period of the Republic, it was the highest military and political office: two consuls were elected each year. The consular office survived into the Imperial period (and further into the early Byzantine period), becoming a honorary post.

dynatoi
The terms « dynatoi» (the potents) and «epiphaneis» (the prominents) emerge in Byzantine narrative and juridic texts during the Middle Byzantine period. They designate dignitaries of the administration and the Church, great landowners and generally members of the ruling class, who oftenly abused their power or their influence on the expence of their neighboring and other landowners. From the 10th C. onwards, and from the reign of Romanos I until that of Basil II, the imperial administration is trying to put a limit to their power, my means of fiscal measures and reforms, such as the tax «allelegyon». We don't find any references to the dynatoi after 1037.

maglavites
A member of the imperial guard, armed with the «maglavion» (a kind of staff), a sword and a double axe. Maglavites eventually became a simple honorary title rather than an actual office.

modios
A unit of measurement for both grain and land.

patrikios
(from lat. patricius) Higher title of honour, placed, according to the "Tactika" of the 9th and the 10th centuries, between anthypatos and protospatharios. It was given to the most important governors and generals. Gradually, however, it fell into disuse and from the 12th century did not exist any more.

proasteion / proastion
Estate located at a distance from any city or village and inhabited only by the dependant peasants and not by the actual landowner.

spatharios
Early Byzantine period: Office as well as honorary title. In Early Byzantine period spatharioi were called the guards of the Emperor or other high functionaries. From the years of Theodosios II onwards, the imperial spatharioi belonged to the corps of cubicularii and they were eunuchs. Middle Byzantine period: A honorary title, probably from early 8th c. In the 9th c. it gradually lost its status; in the 11th c., it is rarely to be found in the sources, while in the 12th it is used to denote lesser personnages. As an actual functionary, spatharios had an active role in administration as well as in the affairs of the court. As an honorary title, it was conferred to courtiers, members of the administration and military dignitaries, members of notable lineages and even clerics.
