Note 031
Argyrus received, says the anonymous Chronicle of Bari, Imperial letters, Foederatûs et Patriciatûs, et Catapani et Vestatûs. 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.
