Maurikios 10 was dux of Venetiae; in 772 his son (Anonymus 265) was taken captive by the Lombards and it was claimed by the archbishop of Ravenna, Leo 114, that he wanted to exchange Paulus Afiarta (Paulos 51) for him:Lib. Pont. 97. 15 ("filium Mauricii ducis Venetiarum"). Maurikios 10 was dux of Venetia for twenty three years; he succeeded Dominicus (Dominikos 4) and was succeeded by Ioannes 515: Chron. Alt., p. 116. A native of Heraclea, he was a man of experience in secular affairs who was chosen by the Venetici as dux at Malamocco after the overthrow of the dux Dominicus (Dominikos 4) ("omnis Veneticorum frequentia simul collecta quendam civem Haeraclianae civitatis, Mauricium nomine, peritissimum saeculari studio, ducatus honore apud Metamaucensem insulam sublimavit"); he is said to have governed wisely; in his eleventh year he had a new bishopric created at Olivolo (see Obelliebatos 1); in his thirty-third year in office, when he was already an old man ("iam effectus senex"), he yielded to popular demand and named his son Ioannes 515 as his colleague in office; two years later he died and was succeeded by his son: John the Deacon, Cron. Ven., pp. 98-99.
