Abulchares

Abulchares (Latin: Apochara; died 1068) was a Byzantine general of Arab origins who served as the catapan (katepanos) of Italy from 1064 until his death. The chief sources for his catapanate are Skylitzes Continuatus and Anonymi Barensis Chronicon. Skylitzes Continuatus records that Abulchares was also duke (doux) of Dyrrachium across the Adriatic, but this is chronologically impossible, since Perenos is recorded as duke at this time.
