Notes
- (Entry lacking, Adler reports, in mss AS, and placed earlier in GIT.)
"In the later imperial period, [a silentiarius was] a certain high officer at court, a privy-councillor" (Lewis & Short, A Latin Dictionary, s.v.). The Latin term admissionalis, under various hellenized spellings, occurs copiously in the De ceremoniis aulae Byzantinae of Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus.
