[Footnote 38: Carsamatium. Graeci vocant, amputatis
virilibus et virga, puerum eunuchum quos Verdunenses
mercatores obinmensum lucrum facere solent et in Hispaniam
ducere, (Liutprand, l. vi. c. 3, p. 470.) - The last
abomination of the abominable slave-trade! Yet I am
surprised to find, in the xth century, such active
speculations of commerce in Lorraine.]
