I don't know the source off hand, but I'm almost certain Bardas was replaced by Nikephoros in 955 not 953. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.62.198 (talk) 20:54, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography

Whittow (1996) writes: All had substantial eastern estates, an extensive network of kin, clients and dependants among the eastern themes, and close links with the world beyond the frontier, especially that of the Armenian naxarars with whom the Byzantines were becoming increasingly involved. (The Phokades, the Skleroi and the Kourkuai seem to have been originally Armenian families, but the others too had close if undefined ties.) The new world these families occupied can be illustrated by looking at Cappadocia, the heartland of the related Phokas and Maleinos clans. This edit which claims that the author discusses the Phokas family as Anatolian Greek [1] was reverted.--Maleschreiber (talk) 05:06, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
