The charts under Research draw the corpus. These are findings about it — each a short claim with the evidence behind it, computed from the same index at the moment you load the page. They are observations about the edition and its vocabulary, not arguments about the history of the Latin East, and each says what it cannot establish.
Half the corpus runs through 78 parties
1,725 distinct parties appear across 4,761 recorded appearances as grantor or recipient. Half of those appearances involve just 78 parties — 4.5% of the names. At the other end, 1,316 parties (76.3%) appear exactly once.
That is the characteristic shape of an archive assembled from institutional cartularies: the houses and chanceries that kept records are heavily represented, and everyone they dealt with once is a long tail.
Click a column heading to sort. Every name links into the database search — which matches partial text, so a compound name will also pull in the entries of the shorter form inside it.

What this does not show. Concentration here is partly an artefact of the previous finding: because long compound names count separately, the true concentration is higher than these figures show, not lower.
