SUMMARY
An aristocratic family of Pontos. The activity of the Kabasitai is closely associated with the civil disputes taking place in the Empire of Trebizond during the 1340’s and lasting until the first years of the reign of Alexios III Komnenos (1349-1390). The Kabasitai remained the protagonists in the political foreground until the fall of the empire to the Ottomans in 1461.
