1 These names were clearly given in hoonour of Diocletian and Maximian.

2 This name first occurs in an edict of 342 A. D. C,. Theod. xii. 1, 34.

3 Arcadia is added by Polemius; it cannot have stood in the old laterculus which he used, which was prior to 384 A. D.

4 Arcadia (and Honorias) formed after 384; Mommsen thinks perhaps as late as 393, when Arcadius became Augustus.

5 Not a regular province; governed by a satrap.

6 See Nöldeke, Hermes, x. 163 sqq. Ohnesorge (Die röm. Provinzliste, x. 297, p. 33 sqq.) has shown that the northern province (chief city, Bostra) was Arabia (the addition "Aug. Lib." was dropped early in the fourth century), and the southern (Diocletian's Arabia) was renamed Palstina Salutaris before 325 A.D. (p 43).
