2. Laws AD305-337
|
| Law ID
| This is the primary reference number identifiying a text.
This is usually in the form of a standard reference to a legal source
(e.g. CJ 1.1.1), but texts deriving from other literary sources or from
papyri or inscriptions have been provided with their own unique identifiers
for the purpose of the database. Descriptions of these and other abbreviations
used can be found on the main description page.
|
| Codex Order
| This gives a complementary list of references according
to their order in the sources (by using additional zeros: thus CJ 01.01.01
instead of CJ 1.1.1). This enables the sorting of material produced
by searches according to this criterion.
|
| ARC Palingenesi
| The relevant volume of the ARC project (vol. 2/1) has
not yet appeared. The few references are either to the volume of Constantine's
