Carsamatium (, Ducange, Gloss.) Graeci vocant,
amputatis virilibus et virgâ, puerum eunuchum quos Verdunenses

ducere (Liutprand, l. vi. c. 3, p. 470).
The last abomination of the abominable slave-trade! Yet I am surprised to find, in the 10th century, such active speculations of commerce in Lorraine.
