I have little in this order to observe and prove but that the
strategus is the same honor both in name and thing that was

those of Rome, the government of the ballot from those of Venice,
and that of animadversion upon the ambitus, or canvass for
magistracy, from both.

The signory, with the whole right and use of that magistracy
to be hereafter more fully explained, is almost purely Venetian.
