[146]Nic.Gregoras Ⅲ，52.
[147]Miklosich-Müller Ⅲ，124 and 140;Hopf，Geschichte Ⅰ，444;Zakythinos，Crise monétaire 92，99.
[148]Nic.Gregoras Ⅲ，199 f.
[149]Nic.Gregoras Ⅱ，788.Under Cantacuzenus the imperial table was only allotted a tenth of what it used to have，Nic.Gregoras Ⅱ，811.
[150]According to a Western chronicle（Chron.Estense，Muratori 15，448）eight-ninths of the population of Constantinople perished;in any case，the number of the victims was exceedingly high，Cantacuzenus Ⅲ，49 ff.
[151]The idea has been widely accepted that the Byzantine dependency in the Morea formed a‘despotate’from this period on.According to Ferjancic，Despoti，this view must be abandoned.It is true that the sons of the Emperor who reigned in the Morea mostly bore the title of despot，but they did so not as governors of the region of the Morea，but as sons of the Emperor，or as his brothers.The granting of the title of despot has no relation in time or in fact to their despatch to the Peloponnese.The dependency of the Morea represented their apanage，similar to the other areas of the Empire which were bestowed on members of the ruling house as apanages at this period.Cf.also p.432，n.2 above.
[152]Cf.Stein，‘Untersuchungen’25 f.
[153]Cantacuzenus Ⅲ，80.
[154]Cantacuzenus Ⅲ，68 ff.Cf.Heyd，Commerce du Levant Ⅰ，498 ff.
[155]The figure given by Nic.Gregoras Ⅲ，181，but 7，000 according to the obviously exaggerated account of Cantacuzenus Ⅲ，246.On the Despot Michael Palaeologus cf.Papadopulos，Genealogie der Palaiologen Nr.74.
[156]Cf.Cantacuzenus Ⅲ，248.Gregoras Ⅲ，181，says the Turks actually numbered 12，000 men.
[157]According to Cantacuzenus Ⅲ，33.Matthew originally had no special titular dignity but held a rank which was‘higher than that of a Despot and immediately below that of the Emperor’.This rank between Basileus and Despot，for which there was no special designation，was first held by the son of Michael Ⅷ，Constantine Palaeologus（Cantacuzenus，ibid.）.This was the strange culmination of the increasing debasement and differentiation of titles：the scale of precedence among the highest honours had become so complicated that it could no longer be defined in concise terms. ↑返回顶部↑
