Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica: see the references at Photius mu10 Theodoridis. The headword is a Latin noun in the vocative, as already (but with a slightly different spelling) at mu 8. [The Lexicon of E.A. Sophocles gives magi/ster as a nominative; this is attested in Gennadius Scholarius (15th c.) but not otherwise.]
See also mu 48.
[2] Theophylact Simocatta, Histories 3.15.6, on ambassadorial appointments by Tiberius Caesar (cf. tau 553 generally) in the winter of 576; cf. de Boor (141), Whitby (96), and kappa 94. At this time Theodore was in fact Comes Sacrarum Largitionum (Count for Sacred Largesses) under Justin II, but he had been Magister Officiorum (Master of Offices) earlier, from 566-575; cf. PLRE IIIb s.v. Theodorus(34).
[3] Why this phrase is repeated, rather than glossed, is unclear.
