[Footnote 41: Par exstans curis, solo diademate dispar,
Ordine pro rerum vocitatus Cura-Palati,
says the African Corippus, (de Laudibus Justini, l. i. 136,)
and in the same century (the vith) Cassiodorus represents
him, who, virga aurea decoratus, inter numerosa obsequia
primus ante pedes regis incederet (Variar. vii. 5.) But this
great officer, (unknown,) exercising no function, was cast
down by the modern Greeks to the xvth rank, (Codin. c. 5, p.
65.)]
