The frontispiece represents the emperors Leo III and Constantine V, from a manuscript in the Bibliothèque nationale, Paris, Gr. 1391.

Gr. 1384."--p. 1. "I have used his text published in 1865 [Zachariae v. Lingenthal, Jus. graeco-romanum, pars IV] but rearranged the subjects ... relying mainly upon Paris Gr. 1384."--p. 214.
