[Footnote 7: See the Greek and Latin Glossaries of Ducange
(catapanus,) and his notes on the Alexias, (p. 275.) Against
the contemporary notion, which derives it from juxta omne,
he treats it as a corruption of the Latin capitaneus. Yet
M. de St. Marc has accurately observed (Abrege
Chronologique, tom. ii. p. 924) that in this age the
capitanei were not captains, but only nobles of the first
rank, the great valvassors of Italy.]
