THE PITTAKIA.
The Pittakia, or according to some Byzantine
writers the Pittakes, are mentioned as being in the
Augustaion. Our historians give but little ajd in
determining its site. The only writer, Greek or
foreign, who does so is Kodinos who merely says,
"There, at the steps of the column." In the
chapter on the Hippodrome, I quoted an epigram
on a house in the Augustaion, between the Hjppo
drome and the Baths of Zeuxippos. This house lay
opposite the Baths, and consequently at the south
end of the Augustaion. Probably there were other
houses alongside it. Kodinos"2 account of the
Pittakia is that the Pittakes was the pillar of the
great Leo Makeles, which his sister Euphernia
erected, because " her house was there, and every
week the Emperor used to resort to it. because she
was prudent, and a virgin." All who had any
grievance presented their petitions (iriTrwcia) there.
Every morning the Emperor sent a gentleman in
waiting6 to collect the petitions,and gave his answers

THE NUMERA.
In the first chapter I described the remains of
the wall which still exists standing to the east, or
at the back, of the great Mussulman mosque of
Sultan Achmet, which is built partly in the Hippo
drome and partly in the Augustaion. This wall,
which is built of large, dark-coloured stones, well-
hewn, and laid in alternate courses with the ordi
nary large Byzantine bricks, is a remnant of the
ancient wall which enclosed the whole of the site
of the Palace, and extended to the shore. All
this quarter has been occupied by poor Turkish
families, and is now called Ah Bughiuk MahalesV
The long narrow street in front of the wall is
called Kampd Sdkdl Sokaghl.2 The street is about
150 paces long. At the south end there is another
and broader road, which cuts it in a line drawn
from east to west. It is called Arlsta Sokaghl. It

1 [The word which we have throughout translated " hall " is rplK\ivos
in the original. The author has the following note.] The word belongs to
the inhabitants of the East. Anciently every apartment, except the vesti
bule, had couches along three sides which were used for sitting on in the
day, and for sleeping on at night. Thus any room came to be called
rplK\ivos or rpuMviov [triclinium]. In Byzantine history, especially in
descriptions of the Palace, the name was applied not only to the great
apartments where the guards and soldiers were quartered, but to the
many galleries and passages which connected the different groups of the
Palace buildings. Sleeping rooms were specially termed Koirwves. Booms
were called irevtiK\uhh, frrdK\ivoi, ^i'vecUXivoi, etc., according to the num
ber of couches they contained. See Banduri, Imp. Orient., Vol. II.,

account of the ceremonies in the Chrysotriklinos indicates that the kitchen
of the Aristeterion lay beside the Tripeton. There is no mention of a
kitchen in this hall, where so many courtiers and ambassadors feasted.
2 Basil the Macedonian, having returned from " Tephrike and Ger
many," made " a very great banquet in the hall Justinian." Cons. P.,

* Ignorance of the arrangements of the Palace has caused many errors
in the MSS. The words eladpxerai and ei-ipxerai are often confused. In
this case the Augusta entered from S. Stephen's in the Daphne to the

positus signs, and all exclaim, " For many long and
prosperous years ; " and after some of the usual
salutations, all move off and accompany them to
the nuptial chamber ' and stand on either side at
the stairs of the Manaura. The singers sing songs,
and the organs of the Green faction sound. When
the Emperor and Augusta pass, the courtiers go to
the nuptial chamber and the Emperor stands there
crowned, while all utter the customary acclama
tions.
Their Majesties, both crowned, go to the nuptial
chamber, where the Emperor's bed stands, and
place their crowns on it. Then they immediately
proceed through the gallery 2 to the Eros and the
Nineteen Couches, where they rest. Thereafter
they go with some friends to the nuptial chamber
according to custom.
In this account mention is made of S. Christina,
a church or chapel which is not spoken of anywhere
else. When the Augusta crossed the Golden Hand,
the patrician and other ladies entered, and escorted
her to the bridge. Certain who were summoned
went with her to the apse of S. Christina's, while
the others retired. Shortly after, in describing the
ceremonies on the third day, when the Empress
went to the bath, the same writer says that the

language, it is possible that it was in the Manaura and not in the
Emperor's sacred bed-chamber, nor in the Augusta's. Cons. P., Vol. II.,

others from the Latin Magna Aula, seems to me nearer the truth.
■ As to the site of the Manaura, Luitprand describes it (Ant., vL, 5,)
as, Domus palatio contigua. Du Cange, Cpolis. Chris., lib. ii., cap. 5,
places the Manaura beside the palace of Blachernai. Ce qui pourroit me
porter a croire que ce palais [Blachernai] n'est autre que celui de Mag-
naura—le palais des Blaquernes celui de Magnaura. Hist, de FEmpire,
Part 1. Du Cange was misled by not knowing that both palaces, Blacher
nai and the Akropolis, had Magnaurai. J. Labarte, p. 193, " Of the
palace of Blachernai nothing now remains except the tower erected by
Theophilos on the land-walls, a pitiable wreck, falling in pieces day by
day." Bvfavrival iU\trcu, pp. 83, 192.
