[1] This gloss applies only to the first quotation given, where the belt is a Byzantine insignia of rank (see next note). In the second, and possibly in the third, the item in question is a money-belt.
[2] Quotation unidentifiable -- but seemingly faulty, in any event, as it stands. This translation adopts feminine genitive singular
a)nazhtoume/nhs, from ps.-
Zonaras, for the transmitted
a)nazhtoume/nous (masculine accusative plural). Alternatively, with Bernhardy, construe
basili/dos as an adjective and supply
au)lh=s: 'they were seeking to expel from the royal court...', or something similar.
[3]
Aelian fr. 84d Domingo-Forasté (81 Hercher). The story is told more fully at
tau 636; see also
epsilon 2821.
[4] From the dream-interpretations, in verse, attributed to
Astrampsychus (
alpha 4251).
