Abstract
The article consists of three among them thematically independent sections, which deal with A) the meaning ofhierochomium in a letter (XI 2) of Gregory the Great, a hapax legomenon due to his meagre knowledge of Greek, B) the fate ofthe Orobiotae (a group of migrants from Argos, whoâaccording to the Chronicle of Monemvasiaâhad left the Peloponnese inthe late 6th or early 7th century), mentioned in the Annales regni Francorum ad annum 809, and C) the duration of a journeyundertaken by Liutprand, bishop of Cremona and western ambassador to the Byzantine court, according to his Antapodosis VI4. The sea-voyage is said to have lasted 24 days, which cannot be true. A possible explanation of this error is offered.
