[Footnote *: Ducas  has  related this as a deliberate act of
          self-devotion on the  part  of a Servian noble who pretended
          to desert, and  stabbed Amurath during a conference which he
          had requested.  The  Italian  translator of Ducas, published
          by Bekker in  the  new  edition of the Byzantines, has still
          further heightened the  romance.  See likewise in Von Hammer
          (Osmanische Geschichte, vol.  i. p. 138) the popular Servian
          account, which resembles  that  of  Ducas, and may have been
          the source of  that  of his Italian translator.  The Turkish
          account agrees more  nearly  with  Gibbon;  but the Servian,
          (Milosch Kohilovisch) while  he  lay  among  the heap of the
          dead, pretended to  have  some  secret to impart to Amurath,
          and stabbed him while he leaned over to listen. - M.]
