The surname of Stratioticus declares his military profession; but the crazy and decrepit veteran could only see with the eyes, and execute with the hands, of his ministers. Whilst he ascended the throne, Theodora sunk into the grave; the last of the Macedonian or Basilian dynasty.
A distinct set of Greek expressions, such as -stratioticus-, -machaera-, -nauclerus-, -trapezita-, -danista-, -drapeta-, oenopolium-, -bolus-, -malacus-, -morus-, -graphicus-, -logus-, apologus-, -techna-, -schema-, forms quite a special feature in the language of Plautus. Greek puns likewise occur, as in the -Bacchides- : -opus est chryso Chrysalo-.
