In the 860's the Byzantine Empire began to recover from Arab incursions so that by 872 the military balance with the Abbasid Caliphate had been permanently altered in the empire's favor.(860年代，拜占庭帝國開始從阿拉伯人的入侵中恢復，因此到872年，與阿拔斯王朝的軍事平衡永久地成為帝國的優勢。)

One evening he comes round, at my request as ever, to help me build my bed, which has finally arrived in two flatpacks of byzantine complexity.(一天晚上，他過來我家，跟以往一樣，是應我的邀請而來的，是來幫我安裝我的床的。我買的這張床終于送來了，是兩個很復雜的大箱。)

The Fourth Crusade was a disaster of unprecedented dimensions for the Byzantine state.(第四次十字軍東侵對拜占庭國家來說十一個規模空前的巨大災難。)

The coming agreements, pacts and understandings among corporations will need a word beyond byzantine to describe them.(用錯綜復雜來形容即將到來的公司間的協議，合同以及諒解還不夠。)

In fact, the revival of Byzantine learning may itself have influenced the subsequent economic and military expansion.(事實上，拜占庭學習的復興本身可能影響了后來的經濟和軍事擴張。)
