 * Nope he does not have Armenian origins nor Italian. In Norse sagas and in the sources provided he is described as Greek. Othon I (talk) 22:51, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Since when are Norse Sagas considered valid points of reference for origin? Nordic people probably identified him as Greek because he was a Byzantine general. Charanis, a noted scholar of Byzantine Empire, claims he's of Armenian origin. I have accordingly added his source to the references. Dan149 Dan149 (talk) 15:50, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
