7. As was normal practice with polyonymous aristocrats, the name by which the praeses would have commonly been called is the last one, viz. Iohannes; cf. A. Cameron, 'Polyonymy in the Late Roman Aristocracy', JRS 75 (1985) 171-7

16. In general, cf. J. Banaji, 'The Economic Evolution of the Late Empire', in E. Lo Cascio, D. Rathbone (eds.), Production and Public Powers in Classical Antiquity (2000) 96: 'the decisive feature of the fifth to seventh centuries, in the east, is the dominance of a new class which transmitted its properties intact from one generation to the next, avoiding the fragmentation of holdings through inheritance which had drastically undermined the economic strength of the former municipal families'
17. See A. H. M. Jones, The Later Roman Empire II (1964) 529, who however speaks of 'sons', whereas the sources he cites also refer to daughters

23. follows R. Delmaire, Les responsables des finances impériales au Bas-Empire romain (1989) 262, in arguing that Strategius was 'encore tout jeun en 510', which would account for the fact that he was apparently not affected by his father's fall from Anastasius' favour: 'un frère de Strategius, Hêrakleidês, est contraint de devenir diacre; si Strategius échappe à un sort similaire, c'est vraisemblablement qu'il était encore d'un âge assez tendre' (170)
