If ever proof were needed of the benefits academics can get from the Web - and in particular from focussed discussion groups - the case of my "De expensis ludorum" query is a perfect illustration. Within a few hours, the answer came. But not only the source of the quotations, but also a reference to a full on-line version of the texts from which they come. I enclose the full answer, with public thanks and praise to the person who gave me the information needed. It was the second of the two texts that was the right one. I really must get round to reading the Codex Justiniani some time: ******************************** I don't know if this info will help, but checking the Google search engine, I find a section of the Theodosiani Codex entitled "De expensis ludorum." It's on-line at this address: http://www.gmu.edu/departments/fld/CLASSICS/theod15.html The same procedure was a bit trickier, but I did finally turn up De Spectaculis, etc. in Codex of Justinian: Liber XI. Again it's on-line: http://www.gmu.edu/departments/fld/CLASSICS/codex11.html Fran Teague <http://www.arches.uga.edu/~fteague> ----------------------------------------- Graham A.
