Contrary to recent interpretations, it is concluded that both terms are adjectives and not nouns, as I argued in a previous study on this topic. Some new arguments are added to support my view.

We argue that firstly, the case must have been judged by reference to the judge of the hippodrome or of the velum Hexamilites. Later, the same case was shaken, not by appeal or by another illegal mode, but rather after a request to the emperor, which was the only legal way of re-examining a tried case. It seems that the emperor delegated mystographos to try the case and then the party, which was not satisfied with his decision, applied again to the emperor by appeal according the current judicial practice provided. The emperor ordered the re-examination of the two previous decisions, but in the meantime the two parties compromised and accepted the first decision of Hexamilites.
The ellipsis and the fragmentation of the cases described in the Peira are confirmed once again. The author of the source is not interested in all cases to give the course of court cases, unless it concerns the content of the title in which are included, as in the case of section 51.31 under the heading "Περὶ δικαστῶν”. On the contrary, section 7.15 , which is under the title "Περὶ διαλύσεως", does not describe in detail of how the case finally reached to the emperor, as the author is concerned with the outcome of the dispute resolved by a compromise solution before a court decision. Consequently, Eustathios' judgments and legal opinions included in Peira are formulated according to the titles of the chapters and their content, making in many cases difficult the accurate understanding of the information by the contemporary scholars.

This paper examines the unification of the above themes and the question of the fiscal units (dioikeseis) in the same region, making some remarks on the operation of the judicial system and on specific kritai.

belonged to (e.g. protoasecretis) or are assumed by scholars to be associated with the imperial secretariat
(e.g. mystikos) and who are known (e.g. droungarios of the vigla, kritai of the velum and kritai of the
hippodrome) or thought to have been judicial officers (e.g. mystographos, mystolektes, thesmophylax,
thesmographos, exaktor, kensor and praitor) are approached critically, and some new interpretations and
suggestions based on the information of the primary sources and the conclusions of our research over
the past decade are proposed.

governors continued or survived in Byzantium, especially in 10th and 11th centuries in Macedonia,
according to the evidence of documents from Athonite monasteries.

The main
conclusions of our analysis are the following: The first holder of the military position of the tourmarches of phoideratoi was Leon the Armenian,
who later became emperor; he did not settle in Constantinople with his
phoideratoi as head of an imperial tagma, as has been argued, but rather in the thema of Anatolikon, where his tourma belonged. Nor was Michael Traulos, who had in fact been appointed komes kortes of the strategos of Anatolikon and not “komes of the imperial tent”, settled in the capital. The corps of the phoideratoi did not operate in an autonomous manner, to defend the eastern border, as has been recently proposed, but it was
under the command of the strategos of Anatolikon, as was also the case with all the other tourmai, which were subjected to the generals of the themata in which they were located. Four tourmarches of phoideratoi are
mentioned in the sources: Leon the Armenian, Thomas the Slav, Elnasir or Alnasir or Artasir (all in the 9th c.), and Samuel (second half of the 10th c.), while Michael Traulos never attained this office, contrary to what certain
scholars have argued. Finally, any connection between the 9th-century phoideratoi and the recruitment of foreign barbarians from the East is not
convincing and cannot be substantiated by the sources; the survival or revival of the name of the phoideratoi for one of the tourmai of the Anatolikon thema was due to the fact that, after the re-organisation of the phoideratoi as part of the imperial mobile military units during the reign of Tiberius II, they moved to and remained in the East under the command of the magister militum per Orientem, where later the theme of Anatolikon
was established.

The analysis of the relation of the table of contents to the text of Historiae in three independent aspects (1. Contents analysis, 2. Linguistic analysis, 3. Structural analysis) has demonstrated the existence of differences that are so significant, both on the informative and linguistic levels, that inauthenticity of the index is well-grounded.

(in cooperation with Ioannes Leontiades) The aim of the research program was the creation of a digital database of seals that belong to offices and officials of the themes of Macedonia and Thrace situated in the European lands of the Byzantine empire from the 8th to the 10th century. The database that was designed includes all the necessary information about a seal (dating, diameter, weight, provenance, editing, description, inscriptions on the obverse and the reverse, comments and photographs). Apart from the central server there are another two more stations that communicate with it. The system can store thousands of recordings. This research program was realised with the financial support of the Aristotle University and was presented in the 11th International Symposium of Sigillography (9-10 May 2014). The database can be used for didactic and research purposes.
