5	See A. Papadopoulos-Kerameus, Ἀνέκδοτα ἑλληνικὰ συγγραμμάτια ἔγγραφά τε καὶ ἄλλα κείμενα κατ’ ἐκλογὴν συλλεγέντα ἐκ τῶν ἐν τῇ «Μαυρογορδατείῳ Βιβλιοθήκῃ» ἀναγραφομένων χειρογράφων καὶ νῦν πρῶτον ἐκδιδόμενα ὑπὸ Ἀ.

The acta proper cover pages 77-85. Note that the same work was republished two years later with same page numbers (for full citation see the Abbreviations below).
6	F. J. Uspenskij / V. V. Beneshevich, Vaselonskie Akty. Materialy dlia istorii krestjanskogo i monastyrskogo zemlevladenija v Vizantii XIII-XV vekov (Actes de Vazélon. Matériaux pour servir à l’histoire de la propriété rurale et monastique à Byzance aux XIIIe-XVe siècles). Gosudarstvennaja Publičnaja Biblioteka v Leningrade, Serija V: Orientalia, 2. Leningrad 1927. This edition translated from Russian into Modern Greek together with a lengthy introduction on the Monastery of Vazelon, the catalogue of its Greek manuscripts by A. Papadopoulos-Kerameus and the biographies of Uspenskij and Beneshevich appeared recently in Greece (for full citation see Mavromatis / Alexakis [as in note 1], 152, note 2).
7	See his extensive review in BZ 29 (1929-30) 329-344.
8	For some additional criticism see also SHUKUROV (as in note 3), 168-169. As it also transpires from our few lexicographic remarks Uspenskij and Beneshevich did not take into account the particularities of the Pontic dialect.
9	UB, p. XI. See also below, act 8.
10	PLP 8662 Ἰωάννης
11	In PLP 26872, Vazelon act 11, which is similar to the present one, is implicitly termed as an act of donation (“… Strateges Gregorios … Stiftete dem Vazelon-Kl. ein Pferd …”).
12	For these events see Laonikos Chalkokondyles, Historiae, ed. E. Darko, Laonici Chalcocandylae historiarum demonstrationes, II. Budapest 1927, 220ff.
13	For this title introduced by Alexios I Komnenos in the 11th century and conferred to members of noble families see ODB, 1570, s.v.
14	UB, p. xi.
15	For this see A. Bryer / D. Winfield, The Byzantine Monuments and Topography of the Pontos, I. DOS, 20. Washington DC 1985, 252. The locality Κυρά is unknown.
16	Bryer / Winfield, Byzantine Monuments (as in note 15), 261. See also G. Zerzelidεs, Τοπωνυμικὰ τῆς Ἄνω Ματσούκας. Archeion Pontou 23 (1959) 104, where the more recent name of the major settlement is given as Κουνάκα (ἡ), with the indication that it is the third village of the Upper Matzouka. See also G. Zerzelidεs, Ἑρμηνευτικὰ τοῦ τοπωνυμικοῦ τῆς Ἄνω Ματζούκας. Archeion Pontou 24 (1961) 266.
17	In Greek βάνδον. For the development of this term from its early meaning as “ensign or banner” to that of territorial unit in the 9th century see ODB, 250 s.v.
18	For which see BRYER / WINFIELD, Byzantine Monuments (as in note 15), 251-298.
19	For this particular curse see ODB, 565, s.v. “Cursing”, where further bibliography.
20	For this kind of property see E. Patlagean, Gonikón. Note sur la propriété allodiale à Byzance, in: A. Avramea / A. Laiou / E. Chrysos (eds.). Byzantium. State and Society. In Memory of Nikos Oikonomides. Athens 2003, 423-434. See also ODB, 859, s.v. “Gonikon”. In Venetian Crete, however, this was a form of “infinite” leasing of land to farmers, a land which never left the ownership of the landlord. See C. Gasparis, Η γη και οι αγρότες στη Μεσαιωνική Κρήτη 13ος-14ος αι. National Hellenic Research Foundation / Institute for Byzantine Research. Monographs, 4. Αθήνα 1997, 132-143.
21	For the term see LBG, s.v. λεγατευτικός. See also, for example, the use of the term λεγᾶτον in the typicon of the Monastery of Christ Saviour Pantokrator in Constantinople drafted as a Diataxis by Michael Attaleiates (March 1077), in: P. Gautier, Le Diataxis de Michel Attaliate. RÉB 39 (1981) 45 (l. 478).
22	The invocation of the name of Christ alone may point to Latin influence, given the rather good relations of the Empire of Trebizond with the Latins, especially towards the middle of the 15th c., for which see A. Bryer, Trebizond and Rome. Archeion Pontou 26 (1964) 290-307, esp. 305-306. For a similar case from Mt. Athos see N. Oikonomides, Actes de Dionysiou. Archives de l’Athos, 4. Paris 1968, 161..
23	See Bryer / Winfield, Byzantine Monuments (as in note 15), 252 note 7.
24	Dölger’s review of UB (as in note 7), 336: “… Danach ist καπάλιον nicht so sehr eine Steuer als eine Pachtabgabe, gleichgültig ob an den Fiskus oder an einen privaten Grundherrn mit den Besonderheit, daß es ursprünglich eine Naturalabgabe sein muß …”.
