One of the most interesting hannes Zonaras. It is divided into six sections; parts of the work to the unprofessional reader con- the first relating to bishops'; the second to priests, sists of the extracts (lib. 2. tit. 4) from the archi- deacons, and subdeacons; the third to clerici; the tect Julianus of Ascalon. They begin with an ac- fourth to monks and monasteries; the fifth to laycount of measures of length, borrowed from Era- men, including penances for offences; the sixth to tosthenes and Strabo, and proceed with regulations women. It is printed with a Latin translation and.of police (edicta or eparchica) prescribed by go- scholia (some'of which bear the name of Philo. vernors of Syria, with respect chiefly to the pro- theus, and others of Citrensis, while the greater cesses of building, and the modes of carrying on part are anonymous) in the beginning of the first trade. In one of these edicts (lib. 2. tit. 4. s. 51) volume of Leunclavius, J. G. R. is a citation from the third book of Quaestiones of 3. Ilepl capesen'v, see De Opinionibus HaeretiPapinian, which may possibly be taken from the corum qui singulis Temzpori6us extiterunt. This original work of Papinian, as we cannot find it in treatise was first published by Leunclavius, with a the Digest.

To the end of this glossators on'the Corpus Juris in the West, and con- treatise is appended the Confession of Faith of sequently some communication between them has Harmenopulus, which Nic.

Thus Harmenopulus, like Accur- Mystag. p. 144) asserts that Harmenopulus recited sius, derives the name of the Lex Falcidia from twice in his last illness upon the very day of his falx, instead of deriving it from the name of its death. In the first and probably more genuine proposer, Falcidius (lib. 5. tit. 9. s. 1). The first edition of 1578, HIarmenopulus, in this creed, rebook is occupied chiefly with judicial procedure, presents the Holy Spirit as proceeding from the the second with the law of property, corporeal and Father alone; whereas, in the J.
