[366] A.M. 5508 of Byzantine chronology coincides with A.D. 1 up to September 1st. Indictions were cycles of fifteen years commencing in 312 A.D. Both the years of the world and the Indictions began on September 1st.

[414] In our illustration the same capital is distinguished by a letter, the two sides by 1 and 2, the monograms reading in the direction of the reference to their position. Those of “N. Aisle” for instance read from left side of page.

[415] Two varieties of monograms on capitals at S. Mark’s have been the subject of much study which Cattaneo sums up in Boïto’s text of the great monograph on S. Mark’s, but they have never been deciphered. One (see Photos, vol. ii., p. 127) is a perfect example of Justinian; three which show in capitals of the upper stage south side are perfect examples of Basileos--if corresponding monograms probably on the hidden sides of these capitals are examined, they too may be found to contain the Justinian monogram. For monograms at S. Sergius see _Byz. Zeit._ for 1894.

Make punctuation consistent in section headings.

Replace Roman numerals with Arabic numerals for section headings
in Chapter VII.

Paspates’ book, ΒΥΖΑΝΤΙΝΑΙ ΜΕΛΕΤΑΙ, is cited variously as Byzantinae
Meletai, Byzantinae Melatae, and Byzantinae Meletae. These citations
are left unchanged.

This eBook makes the following adjustments to the Byzantine inscriptions:

Use Ω (capital omega) where the printed text used a large ω.

Use Υ (capital upsilon) where the printed text used a
V-shaped character.
