I've made a few changes to the article with regard to Diakos's final words. I suppose it comes down to which version you read in school, but I've encountered the term "Ρωμιός" (Roman) more than "Γραικός" (Graikos).

Secondly, popular romanticised tradition has him reciting a poem while he's being roasted alive on a spit. I have yet to find any credible sources that specify whether he was actually placed over a fire; most sources just mention impalement. Dragases 10:02, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
