In some MSS, of the Liber Pontificalis we read that Leo III (795-816) caused to be made for the venerable monastery of St. Sabas, “butronem, [al. buttonem] argenteum cum canistro suo pensantem libr. xii.” Leo IV (847-855) is also reported, by the same authority, to have placed in the Church of St. Peter, “butronem ex argento purissimo, qui pendet in presbyterio ante altare, pensantem libr. cxlix;” and another, also of pure silver, “cum gabatis argenteis pendentibus in catenulis septem.”<\/p>\n
