That would make sense Egfroth as the earliest I've ever seen a mention of the "Ikon Centurion = Varangian" was Ian Heath, Armies of the Dark Ages 600-1066, Second Edition, Wargames Research Group, 1980 ( the first edition came out in 1976 I believe) and he also wrote both Osprey title - Byzantine Armies 886–1118 and Byzantine Armies AD 1118–1461.
Thanks for remembering the toufa in the Bamberg silk.
