It was really a "honeyed beverage'' which Dhuoda had [jrepared for her son: — Istimi [liboUum] tibi et fratri, ut prosit, quod collegi

Diaconicum (Or. hiaKoviKhv), in the Greek Church the liturgical book specifying the functions of the dea- con; it is also the name given to the Oraliones pro pace (SmKoviKd) to be said by him before the people. Primarily, however, the word denoted an annex to the Christian basilica, where necessary supplies for the service of the altar were kept and preparations were made for the Holy Sacrifice. The diaconicum is dis- tinct from the prothesis, a small room where the offer- ings of the people were received. In large churches the iliaconicuin majus comprised several rooms: the salulfitorium, for reception and audiences of the bishop; the tlwsaurariu/n, where sacred vessels and books were kept ; and the diacon icum properly so called. Possibly the Cireek jra(7ro06piov, where the Holy Eucharist was reserved, was simply the diaconicum. Prothesis and diaconicum are ordinarily on either side of the apse. In Syrian churches, where they are regu- larly foimd, they are built on a rectangular plan and have two stories. They also exist in Byzantine churches, in the basilicas of Africa and frequently even in the churches of other regions.

Diakovar (Croatian, Djakovo), see of the Bishop of the united Dioceses of Bosnia or Diakoviir and Sir- mium (Szerdm) (Bosniensis seu Diacovensis et Sirmi- ensis), a municipality of Slavonia (Austria-Hungary), in the county of Virovititz (Hungarian Verocze). Dia- kovdr is al.so the seat of a dLstrict court; in 1900 it contained 6824 inhabitants, mostly Catholics, of whom 65 per cent were Serbs and 28 per cent Germans. The fine cathedral, completed in 1883 by Friedrich Schmidt from the plans of Karl Riisncr, is a Romanesque- Gothic edifice, 256 feet long and 197 feet wide; it has two towers, each about 276 feet high, and, in addition, a cupola about 203 feet high. The interior is decor- ated with frescoes by Seitz, father and son, and the organ has 3(K)0 pipes. Among the other important buildings are the episcopal seminary founded by BLshop Mandi(5 in 1807 and altered in 1858 by Bishop Strossmayer, the provincial house of the Sisters of Charity of the Holy Cross, and the episcopal palace. Diakoviir is of Roman origin. On the imperial road from Sissek to Sirmium there was a large station named Certissa, which disappeared during the migra- tions of the fourth and fifth centuries. The site is not again mentioned before the thirteenth century, when Coloman, brother of King Bela IV, gave the "Posses- sio Diaco" to the Bishop of Bosnia. After the re- establishment of the Diocese of Sirmivnn (q.v.) by Gregoi-y IX, 20 January, 1229, the bi.shop lived at Bosna Seraj in Bosnia, but in 1246 he transferred his see to Diakovar after Gregory IX, on account of the troubles with the Bogomili, withdrew the Diocese of Bosnia from its subjection to the Archdiocese of Ra- gusa and made it suffragan to the Archdiocese of Kalocsa.
