                      La formule finale est caractéristique d’une
                      marque de dépendance par rapport à la personne nommée en fin de légende.
                      Il peut s’agir soit d’un familier, soit d’un neveu. Le <hi rend="italic">dépotatos</hi> servait le
                      patriarche à la Grande Eglise. Cet humble employé lui frayait le passage ou
                      tenait le cierge à l’ambon [1]. Par ailleurs, Dépotatos semble être devenu un nom
                      transmissible et on se gardera de croire qu’un stratège ait pu se vanter d’être le
                      neveu ou le protégé d’un si humble personnage. Nikon de la Montagne Noire
                      rapporte que, à l’époque du patriarcat de Théodore II d’Antioche (1034-1042),
                      le kathigoumène du monastère de Saint-Syméon (du Mont Admirable) était
                      Jean, surnommé Dépotatos [2].
