Part Two: Legal and Canonical Works

THE WORKS OF LEO THE WISE PART TWO. JURIDICAL AND CANONICAL WORKS. MORE RECENT NOTITIAE OF THE ORIENTAL BISHOPRICS, First edited by Franciscus Junius, then augmented by FF. Jacobus Gretser and Carolus a Sancto Paulo, and finally repeatedly enriched, revised, and collected into one volume by P. Jacobus Goar. ^A P. JACOBUS GRETSER’S PREFACE.

Whether what follows was added by Codinus himself, or by another, I cannot say. I decided to add it, both because Junius included it in his edition, and so that the reader might join me in lamenting the destruction of so many most noble Churches; for most of them have either perished utterly, or, if any survive, they groan today under the Turkish yoke. For what was the cause of such great evil for them, if not schism and heresy, and the defection from the Roman Apostolic see? For certainly, as soon as the Greeks separated themselves from the Chair of Peter, their affairs began daily to slide into a worse state; until at last, by the most just judgment of God, they fell into those calamities with which they are struggling even in this age. Anyone who is willing to review the history of the Greeks from Photius—the principal architect of the schism—down to the overthrow of their empire, will willingly admit that this is so.

Some things are subjoined concerning titles: for Greece, being vain, could never get enough of titles, even though they were mostly titles of the most empty things.

Here you see likewise that it was not the patriarch, but the emperor, who was the pope of the Greeks; he used to appoint and depose metropolitans, archbishops, and bishops at his own whim, tossing them about like balls now into this place, and now into that. No one else bore the blame for this matter except the Greeks themselves, who, fawning servilely upon their emperor, had conceded everything to him except the power of sacrifice. That you may clearly understand this, behold for yourself the more than parasitic adulation of Demetrius Chomatianus in his responses to Cabasilas: "The emperor, as the common ^B prince of the wise in the Churches, both in deed and in name, presides over the decisions of synods and grants authority to them. He arranges ecclesiastical ordinations and lays down the law for the life and office of those who serve the altar: indeed, he presides even over the judgments of bishops and clergy, and over the election of vacant Churches. Moreover, he promotes from a lesser dignity to a greater one, for instance from episcopal to metropolitan, showing honor to whom he will, whether to a city or a man. In sum, the emperor manifestly expresses all other pontifical rights, except for the power of sacrifice, and in these matters he acts fittingly, both according to laws and canons." The Greek emperor could therefore even hear the confessions of his people, since he could do everything except celebrate the Mass, or Liturgy. Hugo Grotius, the Calvinist, produces this passage of Chomatianus in his *Pietas* for the orders of Holland and West Friesland, in order to assert the same power over the Calvinist preachers for the supreme magistrate of Holland and ^C West Friesland: although there was no reason why Grotius should have excepted—just as he did not except—the power of preparing the Supper; for the magistrate of all Holland and West Friesland can, without any doubt, prepare this better and more lavishly than any minister from a Calvinist kitchen.

In the *Jus Graeco-Romanum* there exists a Constitution of the Emperor Leo the Philosopher concerning the thrones of Constantinople.

subject to the see, and which bishops are subject to which metropolitans: which enumerates far more metropolises, archbishoprics, and bishoprics than Andronicus does in his *Ecthesis*. But where today is it possible to find so many and so numerous churches? Either nowhere, or in the jaws of Orcus—that is, of heresy and schism—under a Saracen servitude even worse than the Pharaonic, with the exception of a few to whom a milder servitude has fallen. I further except those sees which the Greeks had raised in Calabria and Sicily, or had found established there long ago: for these, now that the Greeks have been driven from power, adhere to the Chair of Peter under the dominion of Catholic kings and princes.

Inserted into the same volume of the *Greco-Roman Law* is a sanction of a certain Patriarch of Constantinople, regarding the order of sitting in councils and other public assemblies that pertains to every metropolitan and archbishop. But the number here is far smaller than in the *Constitution of Leo*, so that the breadth of the Constantinopolitan see was daily diminishing and was being hemmed in by the evil hand of the Turks. I am pleased to add this later catalog here, because it is brief and will shed light upon Andronicus.

FATHER JACOBUS GOAR TO THE READER

Whether the customs of the Palace, and the rites that were wont to be observed in Palaces (concerning which I have said enough a little earlier), agree with the following lists of metropolises and bishoprics, I confess, kind reader, that I do not know, unless you can suggest someone whom I might ask; for as many as have recorded these lists until now have not said a single word on the matter. It is a thing of no moment if it remains hidden from me and you, provided that the authors of the lists, or those who brought them to light, are made known.

Andronicus the Elder Augustus had published a list, which Junius, at his own discretion, joined to the work of Codinus; for that reason alone, in my judgment, because the same manuscript codex had suggested it be annexed. Gretser chose to prefix to the *Greco-Roman Law* another one he had found, but one lacking a title and inscription, as a torch to the Andronician list, so that light might shine forth; but eyes could not bear the light of an obscure torch any more clearly. Father Charles of St. Paul, the Bishop of Avranches, later published a third from the Vatican manuscripts in his *Sacred Geography*, having kept silent even about the names of the aforementioned, and he made it an insert as a *Parergon*, and he made a fourth, given to him by the Royal Library, its companion. I would have mentioned a fifth, placed between these in the collection of the same Bishop, were it not that (since it is ancient and imperfect, and—though it is no light contribution—is attributed to Hierocles, whose very old list the most learned Holstenius promises to be revised and complete) reverence for the antiquity of the work and the effort to pull such an ancient work from the ruins and restore it to its purity, as only one unwilling to abandon it could, held me back from reviewing it now.

Love of integrity, which is the grace and perfection of the form of things, compelled me to apply my hand to these aforementioned works, and public utility demanded our labor, such as it is. In this business, I used the manuscripts of the Royal Library; I restored what was mutilated, repaired what was corrupt, illustrated what was obscure, and reduced to a better order what was vague and uncertain. Among these lists, whether provided or recognized by me, this is the series and the preserved order of matters: that in the first place, the *diatyposis* of Leo Augustus, composed about eight hundred years ago, is exhibited—even though I found it written in a more modern hand—which, if you wish, you will owe to the aforementioned Bishop of Avranches (for it exists in his *Sacred Geography*), or if not, you may attribute it in part to me, as if from a different codex, which various readings prove was written and, more completely than before, either rendered in Greek or exposed in Latin.

In its view, first the dignity of the patriarchates shines forth, then the metropolises that are subject to the Constantinopolitan see become clear, and finally the bishoprics, which it acknowledges as suffragan, are enumerated. The author of the list makes similar dignities, which they call thrones, for other patriarchal Churches; but where he makes mention of the Roman one, there is such and so great a variety in the enumeration of the subject bishoprics, such corruption of words, and finally such confusion of names, that I may say, with the peace of learned men, I think it was written either by one ignorant of Western regions or by someone unskilled. This fact prevented me from restoring it entirely (just as it had previously deterred and utterly diverted the mind of the Bishop of Avranches, who can never be sufficiently praised, from undertaking its interpretation in its entirety): for I did not take upon myself the task of reporting a universal list of absolutely all patriarchal Churches, but especially that which bears the name of Leo Augustus, to which some splendor was added by our labor. However matters stand, I reprint it as attributed to the aforementioned emperor; and second, I have added one drawn from the Vatican alone by the care of an author already mentioned often, corrected with somewhat safer conjectures.

To the third, previously given by Gretser, I prefixed a title from a most faithful collation of the text with the manuscripts of the Royal Library; in addition to these, that same Royal treasure house provided another, whose excellently arranged order lacks the name of its author, which I also collated most accurately with the aforementioned monuments of the Royal Library, and having conformed it to the exemplar of the *Greco-Roman Law*, I placed it fourth in the order of our arrangement. There follows then that which is considered to have been published by Andronicus the Elder, not fully at odds with our own times, so that others, which lacked either a title or their author's name, having been placed among the Imperial ones, might obtain more strength and splendor. Junius criticizes Codinus in his interpretation, and he similarly notes Janius in his elucidation.

Gretser, or rather he inveighs quite sharply against the whole of Greece, which he seems to accuse of vanity or levity on account of titles that have been transferred or changed, or rather augmented: a matter in which there is nothing new, nor should it be imputed to Greece alone, since the Latin Church also makes use of its own right whenever necessity demands it. As for what concerns titles and forms of address, Junius and Gretser have dealt with them generously enough, because they are honorary. Furthermore, those whom emperors, despots, Caesars, princes, nobles, and their wives call and adorn by the names of patriarch, metropolitan, bishop, etc. (with the exception, I shall say, of the offense of Junius and Gretser), will receive not a little light and a great deal of increase from my labor, or at least a better order will provide some adornment. It is fitting that those who are established in different classes of rank should enjoy various titles, and it is not right to address a pontiff in the same manner as one does an emperor: as much as a prince differs from a king, so much should the greeting of each differ; we are accustomed to address strangers with some words and members of the household with others. Greetings of this kind, even if they are in the manner of an appendix, were nevertheless clearly illustrated by the most illustrious and reverend bishop of Vabres, Lord Isaac Habert, in his *Archieraticon*; through his work and version, seeing that it is examined with precision, I have made use of it all the more easily and happily, in proportion to the devotion and humility with which I have desired not so much to commend as to venerate the labor of so great a prelate. What is more, chance has offered it; that which is unchanged and different, the Royal manuscripts have given or provided. From these premises you have the purpose and order of this work; from your reading, if your care corresponds to my wishes, most dear reader, you will obtain utility, or at the least, you will arrive at my sincerity. Farewell.

CONCERNING THE ORDER OF THE THRONES OF THE METROPOLITANS, WHICH OF THEM ARE CALLED EXARCHS AND HYPERTIMI, AND WHICH ARE HYPERTIMI ONLY

^A 1. The Metropolitan of Caesarea in Cappadocia is called the hypertimos of the hypertimi and exarch of all the East. 2. The Metropolitan of Ephesus, hypertimos and exarch of all Asia. 3. The Metropolitan of Heraclea, president of the hypertimi and exarch of all Thrace and Macedonia.

All those who follow are hypertimi, that is to say, exarchs and hypertimi: 1. Of Ancyra, exarch of all Galatia. 2. Of Cyzicus, exarch of the whole Hellespont. ^B 3. Of Sardis, of all Lydia; in whose place is now the bishop of Philadelphia, who was formerly a bishop of Sardis; and becoming a metropolitan, he now has also the place, the exarchy of Sardis, and the remaining bishoprics under him. 4. Of Nicomedia, of all Bithynia, is called exarch. 5. Of Nicaea, of all Bithynia. 6. Of Chalcedon, likewise. 7. Of Side, of all Pamphylia. 8. Of Sebasteia, of all Armenia. 9. Of Amaseia, of the Euxine Pontus. 10. Of Melitene, of the second Armenia. 11. Of Tyana, of the second Cappadocia. 12. Of Gangra, of all Paphlagonia. 13. Of Thessalonica, of all Thessaly; but he now holds the place of Ancyra. ^C 14. Of Claudiopolis; in whose place is the bishop of Pontic Heraclea, who, being a bishop of Claudiopolis earlier, upon becoming a metropolitan, also holds the place and the exarchy of that see. 15. Of Neocaesarea, of Polemoniac Pontus.

16. Of Pessinus, of Second Galatia. 17. Of Myra, of all Lycia. 18. Of Stauropolis, of all Caria. 19. Of Laodicea, of Phrygian Cappadocia. 20. Of Synada, of Phrygia Salutaris. 21. Of Iconium, of all Lycaonia. 22. Of Antioch, of all Pisidia. ^B 23. Of Sylaeum, which is also called Perge, of Second Pamphylia; in whose place now is the bishop of Attalia, who, though formerly bishop of Perge, now, having been made metropolitan, holds his place. 24. Of Corinth, of all the Peloponnese. 25. Of Athens, of all Greece. 26. Of Mocesus, of Second Cappadocia. 27. Of Seleucia, of Second Pamphylia. 28. Of Rhegium, which is also called Calabria; it has no exarchy. 29. Of Old Patrae, of all Achaia. 30. Of Trapezus, of all Lazica. 31. Of Larissa, of Second Thessaly and all Greece. 32. Of Naupactus, of all Aetolia.

Note: The notaries of Constantinople ascribed only this title to the metropolitan of Philippopolis: "Hypertimos and Exarch of all Thrace." But Damian, metropolitan of Philippopolis, writing to us, styled himself "Hypertimos and Exarch of all Europe and Dragobitia." 33. Of Adrianople, Hypertimos and Exarch of Haemimontis. ^C

Note: The metropolitan writes to the one of Adrianople as follows: "Most holy metropolitan of Adrianople, Hypertimos and Exarch of Haemimontis."

So far for those who have exarchates. All other metropolitans are addressed only with the title of Hypertimos, and not Exarch; these you will find listed before.

VARIOUS READINGS

There are also other metropolitans, outside those whom the ancient description records, who were honored from archbishops and bishops at different times. And indeed, these metropolitans were made from archbishops: ^A 1. [of] Bizye. 2. [of] Miletus. 3. [of] Selymbria. 4. [of] Aprus. 5. [of] Garella. 6. [of] Bryseus. 7. [of] Dercus. 8. [of] Cherson. 9. [of] Mesembria. 10. [of] Metrachorum, which is also called Zecchia. 11. Sugdaea and Phullae were two archbishoprics, but when united they became one metropolis. Therefore, it is called [the metropolis] of Sugdaea and Phullae. 12. And from the bishoprics, the [bishop] of Pergamum obtained the honor of a metropolitan [from] Ephesus. 13. From those of Heraclea, [the bishop] of Madytus, and [the bishop] of Medeia, [the bishop] of Prusa. 14. From [the metropolitan of] Thessalonica, [the bishop] of Berrhoea. ^B 15. From [the metropolitan of] Neocaesarea, [the bishop] of Cerasus and [the bishop] of Rizaeum. 16. From [the metropolitan of] Corinth, [the bishop] of Monemvasia, who is also called Exarch of all the Peloponnese, and he also holds the position of Side. 17. From [the metropolitan of] Mocissus, [the bishop] of Nazianzus. 18. From [the metropolitan of] Old Patras, [the bishop] of Lacedaemonia. 19. From [the metropolitan of] Naupactus, [the bishop] of Ioannina. 20. From [the metropolitan of] Philippopolis, [the bishop] of Lititza. 21. From [the metropolitan of] Trajanopolis, [the bishop] of Didymoteichon, [the bishop] of Macre, [the bishop] of Xantheia, and [the bishop] of Peritheorion. ^C 22. From [the metropolitan of] Rhodes, the [bishop] of Chios, and the archbishop of Cos. 23. From Philippi, the [bishop] of Christoupolis, and [the bishop] of Drama, which was not a bishopric, but, as they say, he was protopapas of Philippi in Drama. 24. From [the metropolitan of] Adrianopolis, [the bishop] of Sozopolis. 25. From [the metropolitan of] Camachus, [the bishop] of Celtzene. 26. From [the metropolitan of] Serres, [the bishop] of Zichna. 27. Later there were also two metropolitans in Ungrovalachia, and one holds the position of Nicomedia and is called Exarch of all Hungary and the Plageni; the other is called metropolitan of a part of Ungrovalachia, holding the position of Amaseia. ^D 28. In our time there was also a metropolitan of Bidyna. 29. And in Moldavovlachia, another. 30. And in Galitzia, which was a part of Little Russia.

31. The patriarch addresses metropolitans and archbishops as "most holy." ^A 32. The high priests address one another as "most all-holy." 33. Archbishops are not given the title "super-honorable," but [are addressed as] brothers and fellow-ministers, as the metropolitans are also.

A NEW EXPOSITION OF HOW THE PATRIARCH OF CONSTANTINOPLE NOW WRITES TO THE POPE, AND TO THE REMAINING PATRIARCHS AND ARCHBISHOPS, AND INDEED TO THE METROPOLITANS, AND TO THOSE GOVERNING SECULAR OFFICES.

^B [410] How metropolitans write to patriarchs and metropolitans.

How they write to the Patriarch of Constantinople. Most holy master and lord, most divine and grace-filled ecumenical patriarch, and whatever else is divine and lofty to me, both in deed and in name. I pray to God that your most great holiness may be in health, together with your most holy and most divine dwelling, for the establishment and benefit of the catholic and ecumenical Church of Christ.

That in letters patriarchs and metropolitans do not write to superiors regarding themselves [by saying] "we also are in good health"; they write this to inferiors, or even to equals if they wish.

[411] How they write to [the Patriarch of] Alexandria and the remaining patriarchs. Most holy master, pope and patriarch of Alexandria, and of all Egypt, the Pentapolis, Libya, and Ethiopia, most divine and most venerable Father in the Holy Spirit.

So also to the others, of Antioch and of Jerusalem: Most holy master.

Subsequently they write to each of them as was written at the beginning of the exposition; from here it is set forth how the patriarch writes to them.

How metropolitans write to metropolitans. ^C Most all-holy metropolitan of such-and-such [a city], super-honorable and Exarch of the second or of all; most holy and most divine master, beloved brother, and fellow-minister of our humility.

How metropolitans write to bishops. Most God-beloved bishop of such-and-such [a city], beloved brother in the Holy Spirit of our humility, and fellow-minister.

Thus to their own bishops; thus also to those who are under other metropolitans.

VARIOUS READINGS. * Or "dwelling." ^D † Other manuscripts: "so also to the archbishops, excluding the super-honorable and Exarch."

How the Metropolitans write to the officials of the Great Church.

Most honorable and great Chartophylax of the most holy Great Church of God, sweetest and most longed-for brother and deacon, my lord.

Thus, indeed, they write to the Exocatacoeloi. From the protonotary up to the memorial scribe himself, they are addressed as "most beloved of God," yet not as "brothers," but as "sons." From the Hieromnemon onwards, they are addressed as "most honorable." Those deacons who do not hold official positions are addressed as "most religious." Those ^B presbyters who hold official positions, such as the archpriest and the second [priest], and the orphanotrophoi, are addressed as "most honorable"; those who do not hold such positions are addressed as "most devout."

How the patriarch writes to an uncrowned emperor.

Most powerful, God-honored, God-governed, God-magnified, and holy emperor, my lord.

In conclusion: May the Lord God Himself be the preserver of your holy empire, my holy lord, praying to God that He may grant your holy majesty long years, pure health, free from pain, and success in the good works that are at hand; and after a long life, also the heavenly and eternal kingdom.

How the patriarch writes to a crowned emperor.

Most powerful, God-crowned, God-honored, God-glorified, God-ordained, God-magnified, holy emperor and king, my lord.

In conclusion: May the Lord God preserve your holy majesty healthy, joyful, sound, long-lived, and superior to every sad occurrence, and may He grant to it, along with the present, a heavenly and eternal kingdom. ^C

This is how the custom of the metropolitans' missives to the emperor now stands:

Boldly your servant and supplicant of your mighty and holy empire, my holy lord, I report.

In conclusion: Having been bold, I have reported.

Similarly, the metropolitans also write to the empress.

How the metropolitan writes to a Despotes who is the son of the emperor.

Most longed-for son of my most powerful and holy emperor in the Holy Spirit, most longed-for son of our mediocrity, most fortunate lord.

How the metropolitans write [to the same].

Boldly I report to your majesty, most fortunate lord.

How the metropolitans write [to the same].

Boldly I report to your mighty and holy ^D empire, holy lord; praying to God that He may grant your majesty long years, pure health, free from pain, success in the good works that are at hand, and after a long life, also the heavenly and eternal kingdom.

And if indeed he is born of Greek stock, his name is not added; but if he is a barbarian, such as was Tomprolitzes, or if they are Despots of Wallachia or of the Albanians, he adds the name. Metropolitans also write to such princes in the same manner, yet they add other titles manifesting excellence, such as: most fortunate of all, most noble, most glorious, most magnificent; they do not, however, call them "sons" as the patriarch does, and they conduct themselves in the same way toward Sebastocrators, Caesars, Kings, and others of this kind.

How metropolitans write to a Sebastocrator and Caesar, if they are Greeks

Most fortunate of all, most noble, most glorious, most magnificent my lord, Sebastocrator, or Caesar.

It should be known that they address a Despot in the presence of the emperor simply thus: "My Despot, and your Majesty"; but a Sebastocrator thus: "My Lord Sebastocrator, and your Majesty"; and the Caesar in the same way as the Sebastocrator. As for other Greeks distinguished by senatorial offices, if they are relatives of the emperor, or fathers-in-law, or paternal uncles, or sons-in-law (by daughter or sister), or first cousins, or nephews, the patriarch writes: "Most desired by the most powerful and ^B emperor, in the Holy Spirit, beloved son of our mediocrity, Great Domestic, lord." But if he writes less formally: "Familiar," or appropriately: "To my most powerful and holy emperor." Metropolitans, however, write: "Most desired by our holy and pre-powerful lord and emperor," or certainly: "Familiar of my lord, my son, most illustrious, Great Domestic."

How the patriarch writes to a crowned empress

Most powerful, crowned by God, having attained glory from God, promoted by God, magnified by God, and my holy lady.

At the end, he writes in the same manner as to the emperor.

How a metropolitan who is on a journey writes to a governor to be found in the city subject to him

Desired lord, or, familiar of our most powerful and holy lord and emperor, and most desired in the Holy Spirit, and true son of our humility. Our humility prays to Almighty God for your probity for grace, peace, mercy, safety of soul, strength of body, success in matters to be performed by you for [your] benefit, and whatever else good and at the same time salutary.

At the end: May the grace of God keep your probity healthy, joyful, safe, and long-lived. ^D

^A long life. We have known no other metropolitan writing [in this way]—or rather, our mediocrity has known none—save only the Thessalonian writing to his own subjects. This, however, has happened recently in the days of the Emperor Cantacuzenus, when even the foremost of the Thessalonian ecclesiastics adorned their hats with crosses.

How he writes to the remaining nobles.

You who are found in this God-preserved and illustrious city, most noble lords, as many as are of the first rank and of glorious and most illustrious degree and lineage, most desired in the Holy Spirit, and true sons of our humility: may our humility pray to the Almighty God for the grace, peace, mercy, health of soul and body, and whatever else good and at the same time salutary is granted to your help. At the end: May the grace of God keep you superior to every encounter.

How he writes to the ecclesiastical nobles.

Most honorable ecclesiastical nobles of this our most holy metropolis, and after them the most honorable and most pious clergy, and all those of the priestly and monastic rank: ^B beloved sons in the Lord of our humility: may grace, and peace, and love be multiplied to you from God the Father, through our Lord Jesus Christ, in the Holy Spirit. At the end: May the grace of God be with you all.

How he writes to the common people.

Inhabitants and nobles of this safe and most illustrious city, as many as are of the magistracy, and as many as are of the private order, and the rest of the entire Christ-named people of the Lord: sons beloved in the Lord of our humility: may our mediocrity invoke for you all grace, peace, mercy, and whatever else good and at the same time salutary is from God the Almighty. At the end: May the grace of God be with you all.

To the Knez of Serbia.

[413] Most high and great Knez of all Serbia, most prudent, most pleasant in the Lord, and thrice-desired lord and son of our humility: may grace, peace, and mercy be multiplied to your lordship from God the Almighty.

To the wife of the Knez.

Most high mistress of all Serbia, most prudent and most seemly of women, daughter in the Holy Spirit. May grace, peace, and mercy be multiplied to your lordship.

To the lady of Serbia.

Most pious, and Christ-loving, most high, and most illustrious, and in the Holy Spirit most desired lady of Serbia: may grace, peace, and mercy be multiplied to your kingdom.

How a metropolitan writes to him who is now found in Mytilene, the new Gatilusio.

How he writes to his uncle, Nicolezo, who is in Ainos.

On which letters the patriarch neither subscribes nor appends a seal; to which he subscribes but does not add a seal; and which ones he only seals. The patriarch does not subscribe to the personal letters [pugillares] which are sent to the emperor, to the despot, to the empress, to the Sebastokrator, or to the Caesar, if they are only of Greek nationality; but to all others he does subscribe. Therefore, in those to which he does not subscribe, the name of him to whom he is writing is placed first in the superscription: and on the other part the name of the patriarch, ^D where the seal is not. Furthermore, to other senatorial grandees, who are indeed most noble and have obtained distinguished offices and are relatives of the emperor, the patriarch writes his own name first where the seal exists, thus: "Nilus by the mercy of God": and on the other part the name of him to whom he writes. To other grandees, where the seal exists, they write next to the seal: "Patriarchal," and after the seal "To N." Thus also to the metropolitans, up to the tenth see, the name of the patriarch is placed: to all the rest, however, is written: "Patriarchal diploma." To the superiors of monasteries, and simply to monks or lay dignitaries of the state, and others of this kind, they do not affix a seal, but only fold the letter into a square and write the inscription, "Patriarchal to N.," unless perhaps it be an archi

archimandrite of the patriarch, or an honorable hieromonk, or a monk, or a layman; and wherever the patriarch wishes to grant this honor to someone, as a friend, acquaintance, or intimate of his. Nor do they seal [letters] to bishops. ^A

What documents bear a leaden seal. Leaden seals are used for imperial and despotic documents, and those sent to despots, and to Sebastocrators and Caesars, of whatever rank they may be, and to all kings, and to patriarchs, and to catholic archbishops; but for all other metropolitans and dignitaries, wax seals are affixed; only to the metropolitan of Russia is a leaden seal sent. ^B

What inscriptions metropolitans add to their documents, and how they compose them. [417] When metropolitans write to the patriarch of Constantinople, they do not put the name of the patriarch in the superscription; but where the seal is, they make crosses, and on the other side, below the binding, they write their own name, as: "The humble metropolitan N." Thus also, in petitions to the emperor and empress, they add: "Of the slave and suppliant of your mighty and holy empire, the humble metropolitan N." In petitions to a despot, however, [they write]: "Of the suppliant of your majesty." To other patriarchs and metropolitans, or even to visiting bishops, where the seal is, one places the name of the person to whom he is writing, and on the other side one's own name, as is the custom. ^C But when he writes to bishops or clerics subject to him, he first puts his own name on the side of the seal, and on the other side the name of the person to whom he writes. But when he writes to most noble dignitaries, he puts that person's name first, and on the other side his own. At the end of letters which he sends to emperors or empresses, [he writes]: "As a slave and suppliant of your mighty and holy empire, I have dared to report." To a despot, however: "As a suppliant of your majesty, I have dared to report." To others, he adds some prayer of intercession. ^D

How the patriarch writes to the dignitaries of the Great Church. "Most venerable, great oikonomos of our Great Church, beloved in the Holy Spirit, son of our mediocrity, deacon, Lord N." Thus also to the others in order, as was written before.

How metropolitans write to the dignitaries of their Church. The metropolitan writes to the clerics subject to him in the same manner as the patriarch writes to the dignitaries of the Great Church, that is, to those of the first and second order, and so on to the remaining dignitaries.

Concerning kings. The metropolitan writes to great kings also, [saying] "Great..."

just as the patriarch does; but to those who are not called "Great," the metropolitans write simply "Kings." And the patriarch says to the former, "Your Nobility," but the metropolitans say, "Your Authority." The inscription of the letters puts first his name, and in the other part, the name of the metropolitan.

Concerning the Caesar and the Sebastocrator. Writing to the Caesar and the Sebastocrator, the metropolitan writes the office, such as that of Sebastocrator or Caesar, but his name not at all. But to all these, he also says "Majesty," whether they are Greeks or barbarians.

Concerning the bullae of patriarchs and metropolitans ^B. Whatever letters the patriarch seals, they are all long; but whatever are not sealed are quadrangular. The metropolitan, however, composes them without distinction, for he acts as he pleases.

Concerning empresses. I do not know exactly the mark of a letter sent to the empress. It seems to me, however, that both letters, B and Δ, should be there. Others, however, say that in letters written to the emperor by metropolitans and other notables, they inscribe only their own name in one part, and in the other they sign no letter at all. But when they write to the empress, similarly they place their name in one part, while in the other they make three crosses in the usual fashion, and place above them the letter Δ. It remains, therefore, [to consider] the mark of the letter to the empress, that the letter B be inscribed; and this I think is safer ^C.

How the other patriarchs write to the Constantinopolitan. "Most holy lord, archbishop of Constantinople, new Rome, and ecumenical patriarch, most holy and most desirable brother and fellow-minister in the Holy Spirit." To all other metropolitans and the dignitaries of the Great Church, they write in the same manner as the Constantinopolitan himself.

He, however, in his letters to the other patriarchs, writes first the name of the one to whom he writes, and in the other part his own. The Pope, indeed, formerly wrote just as the Constantinopolitan now does to others—thus he also [wrote] to this one and to others; but now he writes improperly, for in his letters he does not in any way call him patriarch; moreover, he sends a leaden seal, which no other patriarch in any way does, the reason for which I do not know, though they [the others] make large wax seals ^D.

How the patriarch writes to the Pope. "To the most blessed lord, the Pope, the lord Urban, the most supreme..." [index: entries preserved] [alt-version omitted]

^A pontiff of most worth, Nilus, by the mercy of God, archbishop of Constantinople, New Rome, and ecumenical patriarch. In fine: Fare well in the Lord, most blessed lord.

How he writes to the Alexandrian. Most holy lord pope and patriarch of Alexandria and of all Egypt, the Pentapolis, Libya, and Ethiopia, most desired brother and fellow-minister in the Holy Spirit, I pray God that your holiness may be well, even corporally, for the protection and benefit of the Christian flock which is under you. And in fine: Fare well in the Lord, most blessed lord.

How he writes to the Antiochene. ^B Most holy lord, patriarch of the great city of God, Antioch, and of all the East, most desired brother and fellow-minister in the Holy Spirit.
