CORRIGENDA ET ADDENDA
Pp. 19, [744], notes. See a letter of mine in The Athenæum, 30th June 1906, p. 798, in which I show that, almost without exception, Byzantine writers use the old name even as late as Photius and Anna Comnena. Cf. note to p. 632 infra.
P. 20, for 446 read 409.
P. 34, n. 2, insert, the elephants are.

P. 87. A monograph on the headdress of Byzantine ladies has been written by Molinier (Etudes hist. du moyen âge, 1896). It was a usual fashion to puff up the hair in a great roll or crown such as is often noticed in the miniatures of medieval MSS.
P. 88, n. 2, for 21 read 181.

P. 216, n. 3, for A to E read a to e.

P. 281, n. 4, add Some others, and especially one Paul of Thebes, assumed the eremitic life previous to Anthony, but their example did not become conspicuous enough to set the fashion; see the life of Paul by Jerome.

P. 342, n. 2, read 497 as the date of her birth.
P. [482], n. 3, for Minor read Major (Roman). See the collection of Armenian historians (in French) by Langlois, Paris, 1864-69. According to Moses of Chorene (iii, 42) the partition into Roman and Pers-Armenia was made by Sapor and Arcadius. But the Persian here concerned must have been Shapur III who, (Nöldeke) reigned 383-388. Hence the Roman potentate could be no other than Theodosius the Great. All the Armenian writers mention the division (as Faustus, Byz. vi, 1), but do not name the contracting rulers. Persarmenia comprised the eastern two-thirds of the country. Theodosiopolis, the seat of government in the Roman third, was built c. 420 by Theodosius II (?). Procopius, De Aedif., iii, 15, Moses, iii, 59. Needless to say Nöldeke's dates do not agree with St. Martin's.
P. [523], last line, read "girl." Apparently then she was not an old or even a mature woman.
P. [540], read Asia Minor and Syria.
P. [612]. After could desire, read he should wear the robe of Augustus, etc.
P. [632]. Epidamnum. Procopius always uses this name, but twice adds, "they now call it Dyrrhachium" (De Bel. Vand., i, 1, etc.), meaning, I presume, locally, his readers knowing only the original name. The Greeks as a nation never took to these new names. Thus he makes a similar remark about Antioch (De Aedif., v, 5, etc.) which never became Theopolis to the general. Dyrrhachium was about fifty-five miles down the coast from the southernmost point of Dalmatia.
P. [675], l. penult. Date 535 according to Brooks, Byzant. Zeitsch., xii, 494, 1903.
P. [731], read Byzantine Court.[892]
P. [734]. After unforeseen attack read a nemesis approved of by the historian who relates the occurrence.
[892] Procopius, De Bel. Pers., ii, 29. Arrears of pay for ten years seem to have been owing to him for this service.
