[Footnote 58: For the title and powers of patrician of Rome,
see Ducange, (Gloss. Latin. tom. v. p. 149-151,) Pagi,
(Critica, A.D. 740, No. 6-11,) Muratori, (Annali d'Italia,
tom. vi. p. 308-329,) and St. Marc, (Abrege Chronologique
d'Italie, tom. i. p. 379-382.) Of these the Franciscan Pagi
is the most disposed to make the patrician a lieutenant of
the church, rather than of the empire.]
