In reality, the Narentans practiced both piracy and trade, as shown in the example already cited in which Peter II Orseolo ordered to capture the Narentans, who were returning from Apulia, where they had gone for trade. John the Deacon, Istoria Veneticorum, IV, 49.

It is also worth remembering that John the Deacon specified that, when the Slavic Duke Michael had captured the son of the Venetian duke, he had deprived him of all his goods. John the Deacon, Istoria Veneticorum, III, 40. John the Deacon’s use of the term ‘pertinatia’ only for the inhabitants of Lagosta/Lastovo is another indication of the bad opinion the Venetian author had of them. John the Deacon, Istoria Veneticorum, IV, 54.

John the Deacon, Istoria Veneticorum, IV, 31: ‘dux a Croatorum Sclavorum oppressione suos potenter liberavit’.

John the Deacon, Istoria Veneticorum, IV, 40: ‘Circa haec namque tempora Croatorum iudex propter interdictum sibi censum a duce in Veneticos lesionis molestiam exercere conatus est. Unde domnus dux sex naves praeparatas illuc mittens, quibus Badovarius, cognomento Bragadinus, prefuit. Qui unam illorum civitatem, quae Issa nominabatur, conprehendens utriusque sexus captivos ad Veneciam deportavit. Et ex hoc maioris odii cumulum inter Veneticos et Sclavos pululavit.’

John the Deacon, Istoria Veneticorum, IV, 45: ‘eos a Scavorum severitate liberaret’.

John the Deacon, Istoria Veneticorum, IV, 55: ‘ad debellandam Sclavorum duriciam’. John the Deacon used this expression to explain to Emperor Otto III the motive for Peter II Orseolo’s expedition in Dalmatia.

John the Deacon, Istoria Veneticorum, II, 40: ‘licet minime perdurasset’.

John the Deacon, Istoria Veneticorum, II, 46.

John the Deacon, Istoria Veneticorum, IV, 36, 44.

Liudprand of Cremona utilized the term ‘Teutonici’ along with ‘Franci’ to distinguish them from the western Franks. Gandino, Il vocabolario politico e sociale, pp. 258–59. It is believed that ‘Teutonici’ was a more elegant and learned version of ‘Teutisci’, a term that is instead found in Italian archival documents prior to the period in which John the Deacon lived. A. Castagnetti,‘Teutisci’ nella ‘Langobardia’ carolingia (Verona, 1995), pp. 102–03.

John the Deacon, Istoria Veneticorum, IV, 26: ‘Imperator autem in tanta severitate et duricia ad Veneticorum districtionem perseverabat, quo nec precibus nec quibuslibet muneribus eum placare valerent’. The word ‘severitas’ is also utilized to indicate the behavior of the bishop of Belluno, who did not want to return a territory that belonged to the Venetians, and the deeds of the Muslims who besieged Bari in 1002. John the Deacon, Istoria Veneticorum, IV, 37 and 66.

John the Deacon, Istoria Veneticorum, IV, 24.

John the Deacon, Istoria Veneticorum, II, 51: ‘ad Absarensem civitatem usque pertingere non dubitaverunt et in feria secunda Pasce incendio eam devastantes, ad Anconam civitatem transierunt, quam similiter igne concremantes, multos captivos exinde secum detulerunt’.

John the Deacon, Istoria Veneticorum, II, 51: ‘predicti Sarraceni etiam Romam ausi sunt adire ecclesiamque sancti Petri depredare’.

John the Deacon, Istoria Veneticorum, III, 7: ‘quasdam Dalmaciarum urbes depopulati sunt pariterque etiam Braciensem eiusdem provincie urbem invaserunt … urbibus quas diximus devastatis, cum inestimabili preda ad propriam sunt reverse’.

John the Deacon, Istoria Veneticorum, III, 12: ‘Cumaclensem villam depopulati sunt’.

John the Deacon, Istoria Veneticorum, IV, 67: ‘finitimarum loca crudeli iure mancipando possidebant’.
