 Marepaphias

Marepaphias (also "marpahis" or "marepahis") was a Lombard title of Germanic origin meaning "master of the horse," probably somewhat analogous to the Latin title "comes stabuli" or constable.According to Grimm, it came from "mar" or "mare" meaning "horse" (see modern English mare) and "paizan" meaning "to put on the bit".
