[Footnote 58: For the emperor's hunting, see Syropulus, (p.
143, 144, 191.) The pope had sent him eleven miserable
hacks; but he bought a strong and swift horse that came from
Russia. The name of Janizaries may surprise; but the name,
rather than the institution, had passed from the Ottoman, to
the Byzantine, court, and is often used in the last age of
the empire.]
