 Peter Charanis - The Monk as an Element of Byzantine Society
He suggests the possibility of an error on the part of the biographer of Theodore, who is the source for this figure, or, what is more likely, that the number includes, besides the monks of Studium itself, those of other monasteries more or less under the jurisdiction of Studium.
However, from an average involving all the monasteries for which we have figures it is difficult to derive any meaning at all, both because the monasteries in question spanned several centuries, and because they were not stable in the number of their inmates.
The household of Theodore the Studite when he was young was run by his mother as though it were a monastery.

Even though Bulgaria profited from the defeat of the Avars by Charlemagne and extended its power to the northwest as far as the river Theiss, Bulgarian northern policy was primarily defensive: Bulgaria had to protect its northern frontier from the Germans, the Rus’, and later the Tatars.
Bulgaria’s policy in the south was more active, and Bulgarians were often involved in Byzantine affairs, sometimes as allies (Tervel supported Justinian II), sometimes as dangerous adversaries (especially under Krum and Symeon of Bulgaria).
Their interrelationship was very complex, ranging from military rivalry to trade connections (Bulgaria exporting to Constantinople flax and cattle) to religious and cultural exchange; some Greek regions were absorbed by Bulgaria and for almost two centuries Bulgaria was incorporated by Byzantium.
