Hello Sturmvogel! Thanks for taking the time to review this. I rephrased the tagged phrase, how does it look? Also, let me know if there is any other change/correction or some point you'd like to see explained or elaborated upon, beyond GA criteria. Best regards, Constantine 20:12, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The reworded sentence is good, it was unclear as to who had died. I'd also suggest combining the two very short paragraphs in the early life section. And was he really an admiral as described in the lede? He seems more of a general, but these might have been overlapping terms as used by the Byzantines.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:33, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Good. On your question, as you say, such things were more fluid back then, and any general might be appointed to lead a fleet. He was an admiral in so far as he led a fleet on a number of raids, and he did have the title of megas doux which made him a sort of "Lord High Admiral" (to borrow an older rendering of the term, or rather its function, into English).
