And the count with the other 100 is taken over by the master of the table and the domestic of the service and the imperial oikonomos-kellarios; and 80 of them lead the 80 pack-horses, while 20 follow. And when the emperor descends to the aplekton, the syntrophoi and the Optimates take the spare horses of the ministers, and lead them away to pasture to the chartoularios of the Malagina. The same also for all the transportations and all who have been assigned imperial horses, that is, according to the pack-horse of an Optimate, as has been said above.

Total assigned pack-horses: 482. Led in reserve for the replacement of those that die and those that run away, and at the time of the loss of Syria for the barley ration, 100 pack-horses.
