^1	See GR596; V. Grumel, “La Liquidation de la querelle Photienne,” EO, 33 (1934), 257-88; and P. Karlin-Hayter, “Le Synode à Constantinople de 886 à 912 et le rôle de Nicolas le Mystique dans l'affaire de la tétragamie,” JÖB, 19 (1970), 59-101.
^2	Vita Euthymii, ch. 10, p. 65, and on the meaning of this phrase, pp. 184ff.

^4	Cf. P. Noailles and A. Dain, Les Novelles de Léon VI le Sage (Paris, 1944), Nov. 90, pp. 296-9 and GR595.
^5	Arethae Scripta Minora, ed. L. G. Westerink (Leipzig (T), 1968), I. 129. Arethas became archbishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia in 902 or 903. This forceful personality also had an important place in the history of scholarship; for an assessment of his work see Lemerle, Humanisme byzantin, 205-41, Wilson, Scholars, 120-35, and above, pp. 89 ff.

^9	DR545.
^10	Nicholas Mysticus, Ep. 32, written soon after his reinstatement, i.e. during the second half of 9I2; GR635; DR571. Cf. Theophanes Cont., 371.

^15	Vita Euthymii, ch. 21-22, pp. 135 ff.
^16	For the political background of Romanus I and Constantine VII see A. Rambaud, L'Empire grec au Xe sicle; Constantin Porphyrogénète (Paris, 1870) and S. Runciman, The Emperor Romanus Lecapenus and his Reign (Cambridge, 1929, repr. 1963); both are useful but in need of revision. A. Toynbee, Constantine Porphyrogenitus and his World (London, 1973) is uneven. An excellent though brief account is given by Ostrogorsky, History.
^17	Nicholas Mysticus, Ep. 53, p. 290.
^18	GR669.
^19	Nicholas Mysticus, Ep. 56, 53, 77 (all to Pope John X); GR671, 675, 711.

^23	This is suggested by Browning, Byzantine Empire82-3; the opposite view is taken by S. Runciman, The First Bulgarian Empire (London, 1930), pp. 157-8. Subsequent events tend to refute Browning's optimism.
