Note 729 — Chapter XX · DIOCLETIAN’S EDICT, 301 A.D.—PRICES OF FISH AND OTHER ARTICLES THEN AND NOW

Fragments of the Edict in Latin and in Greek have been coming to light for the last two centuries from Egypt, Greece and Asia Minor—not the least important being found by W. M. Leake; see his Edict of Diocletian, 1826. See also Mommsen’s Inscriptionum Latinarum, vol. III. pp. 1926-1953, the text of which was published by H. Blümner with a commentary in 1893 in his Der Maximaltarif des Diocletian. A convenient account of this famous Edict, together with a full bibliography, is given by H. Blümner in Pauly-Winowa, Real. Enc. (Stuttgart), V. pp. 1948-1957.
