Padiates was only mentioned leading an army, so we don't know his title.
Lampardas was mentioned in the year as being one of the two experienced military commanders [with Alexios Branas] from the time of Emperor Manuel (died in 1180). That means he was active before 1183, when his name was written.
Gidos, on the other hand, was mentioned as being Grand Domesticus Marshall of the West (?!).
I have absolutely no idea what that means, but it is possible there's been a translation error (as I said, the book was translated from Czech to Serbian).
Easy. Padiates could be either "archon" or "strategos", I'd go with "archon" (lord, local magnate). Lampardas should probably be "strategos" (general). Gidos, Mégas Domestikos.
