[Footnote 69: Muratori (Annali d' Italia, tom. ix. p. 136,
137) observes, that some authors (Petrus Diacon. Chron.
Casinen. l. iii. c. 49) compose the Greek army of 170,000
men, but that the hundred may be struck off, and that
Malaterra reckons only 70,000; a slight inattention. The
passage to which he alludes is in the Chronicle of Lupus
Protospata, (Script. Ital. tom. v. p. 45.) Malaterra (l. iv.
c. 27) speaks in high, but indefinite terms of the emperor,
cum copiisinnumerabilbus: like the Apulian poet, (l. iv. p.
272: ) - More locustarum montes et pianna teguntur.]
