Oliver's posthumously published Greek Constitutions of Early Roman Emperors from Inscriptions and Papyri (Philadelphia 1989) has been of/great service to scholars and, despite the flaws pointed out by reviewers, is generally acknowledged to be a handy and detailed corpus of the imperial rulings that are conventionally termed 'constitutions', a term whose limits of application are not always easy to define. There was a demand when Greek Constitutions came out for an index verborum of the corpus that could, apart from anything else, illustrate the language variety of Greek used by the imperial chancellery as it developed in the original use of Greek or in the local translations of Latin. The desideratum here would have been not a mere re­ cording of the lexical material (which anyway would have demonstrated, for instance, the extremely limited use of transliterated Latin terms), but a highlighting of the strictly technical formulaic expressions (such as the viaticum formula). At the same time, it would have been possible to group together the most common forms of syntax or certain distinctive expressions in order to give an, albeit partial, idea of the style of the imperial documents. However, since Oliver's death in 1981, the relevant material has been considerably augmented, some of Oliver's choices have been reconsidered in practice, and, lastly, the elaboration of such an index needed to address more problems than had originally been apparent. M^re specifically, a number of new documents (see below), new fragments of already known documents (41 (= /. Ephesos 231); 63 (= Martin 8); 66 (= Souris, Astyp.); 74 (= Follet); 74 bis (= Martin 19); 89 Β (= EKM I, 5); B&esch 11 (=/G VII, 2882)) and copies (Reynolds, New B; I. Ephesos 1489 A, L Alexandreia Troas 10; P. Oxy. 4437) came to light. In some cases, the n|w finds or new readings led to the complete or partial replacement of the text in Oliver's edition (82 A (= I. Ephesos 1487); 294 I (= Gronewald)). To these we may add the documents which Oliver unaccountably omitted (e.g. Schindler, IG X.2, 19), as also those which —evidently for various reasons connected with their early dating (I. Kyme 17), their content (Kunkel), their authenticity (Martin 57), their uncertain identification with imperial documents (e.g. P. Dura 45 and 55 B), or their very fragmentary condition— 2 Index to Roman imperial Constitutions | he avoided to include. J.-L. Mourgues's thesis, Imperial Correspondence Pre- Wsetyed in[Inscriptions and Papyri. I. The Documents, Π.
