Whittemore, Thomas [Hrsg.]; Byzantine Institute of America [Mitarb.]: The mosaics of Haghia Sophia at Istanbul: preliminary report (3rd preliminary report): The imperial portraits of the south gallery: work done in 1935 and 1938 (Oxford: printed by John Johnson at the Oxford University Press for the Byzantine Institute, 1942)

38 THE IMPERIAL PORTRAITS OF THE SOUTH GALLERY
66. One finds a certain likeness to his Hungarian grandfather, whose portrait is in the Remetea
Church, Transylvania, Rumania:}. Stefanescu, L’art byzantin et Part lombard en Transylvania, Paris, 1938,
Pl. I, fig. 1.
67. ’Akockioc, which was sometimes also represented as a small bag filled with gold or with earth
(Beljaev, op. cit., pp. 217-18).
68. This omission is due to the fact that Alexios was only a co-emperor (see lastly, after the remarkable
works of Bury, Dolger, and Stein on this matter, G. Ostrogorsky, ‘Autocrator Johannes II and Basileus
Alexios’, in the Annales de Plnstitut Kondakov, x, 1938, pp. 179 ff).
69. We reject the hypothesis, which may also be considered, that both parts of the panel were executed
simultaneously but by two different artists.
70. The only certain similar example: imperial portraits in the Galleries of the Cathedral in Kutais
(N. Kondakov, Opis’ pamjatnikov . . . Gruzii, St. Petersburg, 1890, p. 5). According to Kondakov, a
portrait of Basil I may have existed in the Galleries of the Nea (Vizantijskija cerkvi i pamjatniki Kon-
stantinopolja, Odessa, 1887, p. 163; cf. Book of Ceremonies, ed. A. Vogt, i. 28 and 29, pp. 109 and 112).
See also the frescoes of the staircase leading to the Galleries of St. Sophia in Kiev, where there were
also imperial representations. But these were in all probability not real portraits (cf. Grabar, op. cit.,
pp. 71 ff). On the usual placing of portraits in the Western part of the church, see e.g. S. Radojcic,
Portreti srpskich vladara u Srednjem Veku, Skoplje, 1934, pp. 50-1, and N. Okunev, ‘Portrety korolej-
ktitorov v Serbskoj cerkovnoj zivopisi’, Byzantinoslavica, ii. 1, 1930, pp. 79 ff.
71. Examples gathered by M. Karger in Recueil Uspenskij, ii. 1, p. 143. Add G. de Jerphanion, Les
Eglises rnpestres de Cappadoce, Paris, 1925-34, Pls. 98,1; 139, 2; 143,2 (a remarkable portrait of Nicephoros
Phocas with his family in the prothesis of the ‘Great Dove-cot’ at Tchauch-In).
72. F. Brightman, Liturgies Eastern and Western, Oxford, 1896, pp. 363 and 373.
73. At Cefalu, behind the enclosure of the sanctuary, two places are reserved: to the North-
‘Sedes Regia’, to the South—‘Sedes Episcopalis’. Cf. Travellings of T. Korobejnikov: ‘in the cathedral
church of Jassy . . . the seat of the voivode ... is on the right behind the choir’ (Pravoslavnyj Palestinskij
Sbornik, ix. 3, fasc. 27, p. 78), and canon 69 of the Trullo Council authorizing the emperors to enter
the sanctuary (J. Hefele-H. Leclercq, Histoire des Conciles, iii. 1, Paris, 1909, p. 54).
74. Paulus Silentiarius, Descriptio Sanctae Sophiae, vv. 586-9, Bonn, p. 29, cf. Du Cange, Constan-
tinopolis Christiana, Paris, p. 33, and Antoniades, op. cit., ii, pp. 257-8 (this author supposes that the
Galleries may also have been for catechumens).

Book of Ceremonies, ii. 14, Bonn, p. 564 (election of a patriarch, without any indication as to which side
of the Galleries). Similar evidence for the 14th cent.: A. Paspatis, BujavTivcd MsAetoci, Constantinople,
1877, p. 339. They used to say at this epoch: ev toi$ ksAAiois too TrocTpidpxou toi$ ev toi$ Ae^ioi?

i, pp. 538, 540-1; ii, pp. 2, 4, 98. Cf. Antoniades, op. cit., ii, p. 232). These ‘patriarchal cells’ should
be located not at the far end of the South Gallery, which was more particularly reserved for the
emperors (see below)—but in one of the central bays, where Salzenbcrg saw the representation of the
Pentecost, the same representation being in that part of the Church of Holy Apostles where also
Councils were held (Simeon of Thessaloniki, De Sacris Ordinationibus, Migne, P.G., t. 155, col. 437,
cf. N. Skabalanovic, Vizantijskoe Gosudarstvo i Cerkov’ v XI v., St. Petersburg, 1884, p. 365).
