catapán
  15

Byzantine military of higher rank than the strategos, of kata-epanos, the one on top. The term was moved to Magna Graecia where it remained and was later used by the Normans and Spaniards. According to some, from here would derive, after metathesis, the term captain, which for others clearly comes from caput capitis, head. For the Sorianos it is the first Sunday of May, in which wine is tasted with bread and cheese.
