THE FARMER'S LAW.

I.

THE origin of the little code for the government of Byzantine agriculturists, which is known in the manuscripts as the Farmer's Law

(vsPov yecOpY'ctx6), has occasioned some difference of opinion among the learned men who have dealt with it. The greatest authority on Byzantine law, Zachariai von Lingenthal, changed his mind on the subject. He began by thinking it the work of a private hand-the compiler of the Appendix Eclogae-and assigning it to the eighth or ninth century (Historiae Juris

Graeco-Rormani Delineatio, p. 32). It was put together, in his opinion, partly from the legislation of Justinian and partly from local custom.

According to his last view (Geschichte des Griechisch-2rmischen Rechts, 3rd ed.

pp. 249 sqq.) it is a product of the legislative activity of the emperors Leo and Constantine and was enacted about the year 740 A.D. For the opinions of other scholars I may refer to C. W. E. Heimbach, Griechisch-rdmisches Recht in Mittelalter, p. 278; Vito La Mantia, Cenni Storici su le Fonti del Diritto Greco-Romano, p. 13; and Luigi Siciliano Villanueva, Diritto Bizantino,

p. 50. It is clear that there are points of contact between the Farmer's Law and the Ecloga; and I am inclined to agree with the view that the Farmer's Law as it stands forms part of the legislation of the Iconoclasts. It is

equally clear that it is, to a great extent at least, a compilation of existing customs. The arrangement and style of the treatise suffice to show this.

Customary law, when it is put together into a book-whether it is put together by the public authority or by a private jurist-exhibits one marked difference from the law that is laid down by a legislator. In a statute framed to regulate circumstances which have not been touched before by legislation or custom, each chapter or paragraph deals with a different set of facts. There is, if the statute is properly drawn, neither repetition nor

overlapping. On the other hand, where a legislator or jurist is framing a code on the basis of an existing body of custom, he finds divergent rules

governing the same set of circumstances. This is especially the case if he has before him the customs of different localities. Now the tendency of the

compiler is, not to mould ,the divergent rules into one harmonious whole, but

to give one rule after the other or at any rate to let them both appear in his

completed work. No one can read the Farmer's Law without noticing several of these repetitions and overlappings. Moreover, while the Farmer's Law has on one side points of contact with the Ecloga, it has on the other even more striking marks of resemblance with the laws of the Barbarians. I hope to deal with these matters hereafter: in this article I am concerned

merely with the text of the Farmer's Law.

Although the Farmer's Law has often appeared in print before, it has never before been presented to the public in its original form. It is found in very many manuscripts. Seventeen are mentioned in M. Henri Omont's Inventaire sommaire des manuscrits grecs de la Bibliothlque Nationale: there are five in the Ambrosiana (A 45 sup.; E 117 sup.; M 68 sup.; Q 25 sup.; Q 50 sup.): five in the Court Library of Vienna (Jurid. gr. 2, 3, 7, 11, 12): four in the Marciana (gr. fondo antico, 172, 182, 183, 579): four in the Bodleian (Barocc. 131, 149; Laud. gr. 91; Roe 18). There must be at least a hundred manuscript copies in existence, ranging in date from the eleventh to the sixteenth century.'

Most of these manuscripts, however, may be left out of account by a student who is trying to arrive at the original text. Shortly before the middle of the fourteenth century Constantinus Harmenopulus put together a

legal handbook in six books-the JtditXov. To most manuscripts of the

cid/3t/3,ov are added drriteTpa, one of which contains the Farmer's Law.

The better opinion is that the Farmer's Law was not added by Harmenopulus himself (see G. E. Heimbach, Praefatio to his edition of Harmenopulus, p. xv; C. W. E. Heimbach, op. cit. p. 450); whether this is so or not, it appears in some of the earliest manuscripts of the 64dp3t/3Xo9. Zachariii von Lingenthal pointed out (Geschichte des Gr.-r6mn. Rechts, 3rd edition, p. 249) that the oldest manuscripts of the Farmer's Law, such as Paris gr. 1367 and Marcianus gr. 579, differ widely from the version of Harmenopulus not only in the order but also in the text of the chapters, and that they leave out several chapters which are contained in that version.

Unfortunately all the printed texts, with one exception, are based upon the version of Harmenopulus; and the exception is not much of an improve- ment upon it. In 1898 the lamented but injudicious Ferrini published in the Byzantinische Zeitschr'ift, vii. pp. 558-571, what he called an 'edizione

critica del vbtov /yeEopytkc.'

If by critical edition is meant an edition in

which any discrimination is displayed, Ferrini's text cannot be called critical,

1 Krumbacher (Gesch. der Byz. Lit., 2nd ed., p. 610) cites an article by Vasiljevskij on two

manuscripts of the Farmer's Law. I have not seen the article.

THE FARMER'S LAW 87

as it simply reproduces, subject to one or two insignificant corrections, a

manuscript which was at Ferrini's hand-Ambros. M 68 sup. This is, he

says,' la pidi antica recensione di questo importante documento legislativo. Essa e di gran lunga pidi corretta e libera da interpolazioni e iuntamenti

posteriori di tutte le altre che mi fu dato conoscere.' If Ferrini had looked at either of the manuscripts which are mentioned by Zacharii von Lingenthal, he would have seen that they offer a very different text from that which he

gives. Now Paris gr. 1367 is of the twelfth century (Omont, Inventaire, ii.

p. 26), and Marcianus gr. 579 is in this part certainly of the eleventh century -possibly of the end of the tenth; while the manuscript to which Ferrini

pins his faith is ascribed by the learned Martini and Bassi (Catalogus Codicum

Graecoruwm Bibliothecae Ambrosianae, vol. ii. pp. 634-6) to the end of the thirteenth. It is true that a late manuscript may give a much better text than an early one, but, if all the early manuscripts agree substantially in one text, while the later manuscripts give versions which differ widely one from another, there is some probability that the genuine text is that presented by the early manuscripts.

I give complete collations of six manuscripts and a partial collation of a seventh. These manuscripts vary in date from the early eleventh (or late

tenth) century to the early thirteenth. It will be seen hereafter that, although there are divergencies between these manuscripts, they are in substantial agreement as against the vagaries of Ferrini's and other later

manuscripts. In all of them the order of the chapters is substantially th same. The language is substantially the same. They vary sometimes in the order of the words or in the grammar and sometimes the vocabulary is different, but very few differences show a conscious treatment of the material which was before the scribe. Very little editing has taken place.

As against the consensus of the earlier manuscripts, there is the widest

diversity among the later ones. Ferrini's manuscript, as I have said, gives one version, and Paris gr. 1383, which probably goes back to the end of the twelfth century, agrees very closely with Ferrini's manuscript. Roe 18 (fourteenth century) gives another version; Laurentianus lxxx 6 (fifteenth century) another; and Vaticanus gr. 845 (end of twelfth century) another. There is still another version, which is in print. Titles xxiv., xxv., and xxvi. of the Ecloga ad Prochiron mutata, which Zacharii von Lingenthal published in the fourth volume of his Jus Graeco-Bomanum, are based in

great part upon the Farmer's Law and reproduce most of its chapters. The manuscripts of which I give complete collations are these 2

Rhodian Sea-law. I use the same letters to denote the manuscripts which I used there.

G Vallicellianus E 55 f. 241 v sqq. (thirteenth century). M Marcianus gr. fondo antico 167 f. 37 r-42 r (twelfth century). N Marcianus gr. fondo antico 579 f. 191 v-194 v (early eleventh century). P Paris gr. 1367 f. 97 r-100 v (twelfth century). Q Paris gr. 1384 f. 128 r-134 r (twelfth century). S Ambrosianus Q 25 sup. f. 5 r-10 v (late eleventh century).

Of B (Vaticanus gr. 2075), of the early eleventh century, I give a collation only for the first eleven and last four chapters. The absence of a full collation will be the less felt as S agrees very closely with B, although I do not think that it is copied from it.3

The editor of a Byzantine text may well re-echo the language of Zacharia von Lingenthal: 'nemo est qui ignoret quam difficili munere

fungatur is, qui ex codicibus recentioribus aliquid edit.' My manuscripts differ widely in matters of accidence, syntax, order of words, etc. Our

knowledge of Byzantine usage--especially Byzantine usage during the eighth and ninth centuries-is so imperfect that it is often impossible to decide between two conflicting readings. In many cases it is quite possible that there was no fixed usage. The utmost that an editor can do is to call the reader's attention to the conflict of authority in the hope that, when enough material has been collected, it will be possible to lay down some general rules. Here are some cases where my manuscripts return an uncertain sound.

(1) As regards the order of words, N has a tendency, in which it is

generally followed by M, to separate the substantive and its adjective or two substantives in apposition by putting the verb between them. Examples are 8 1 EIev 8t6o avp wvrlaoat eyewpyoI N]

(2) There is some variety in the manuscripts as between the use of the

participle with the verb and the use of two verbs connected by al' or 36. For instance: Icy 1 rIapaXa/3&v av••arac Ty GN] nrapaha/hv •saC avycxarag~li•

3 I use A to denote the agreement of BGPQS, where I give a collation of B, and of GPQS, where I do not give a collation of B. I use n

to denote the agreement of all the manuscripts or of all except that one of which a variant is specified.

(3) There is the widest difference as to the use of simple and

compound forms: "

(4) The word &8c6vat in its different forms gives rise to constant variants. These variants may be classified as follows:-

(a) Wherever we get in some manuscripts forms from SL86vat, we are sure to get in others forms from 8oirvat: e 4 ts8&roTo-av BGS] 'T18irwoav MN

(b) In other cases there is a difference in the tense or mood: ' 2

(6) In phrases which relate to taking land upon the half-profits system, the manuscripts sometimes vary between v L(o-eiav and r3 •ureai : •p 1 (Xaaet^v) 7Tv

do is to state the authority for both, leaving it for his successors-with a more perfect knowledge of Byzantine usage-to adjudicate finally between them.

But there are other variants in the manuscript tradition to which other considerations apply and with respect to which even now we may entertain a modest confidence of discriminating the true reading from the false. It is

possible for us, upon the materials already in our hands, to lay down one or two principles with regard to the 'parliamentary draftsman' of the Icono- clastic epoch which will be of material assistance in distinguishing original from later readings. While I apply these principles for the moment only to the manuscripts upon which I am forming my text, I beg the reader to bear them in mind when the time comes for dealing with the eccentricities of

Ferrini's manuscript and of other similar 9rifacimenti. (1) The solicitude of a legislator-whether primitive or modern-never

extends as a rule beyond the redress of the mischief which lies immediately under his eyes. If he sees A's donkey browsing in B's vineyard, he passes a

law to protect the vinegrower against the incursion of donkeys. It is only in the course of ages and as fresh wrongs of a similar character strike the

attention that legislators begin to see that the principle of the law may be

extended without danger-that it can apply to the unlawful entry of any

devastating animal into any close, and that B's vineyard has no greater claim

to be protected against A's donkey than B's china-shop has against A's bull.

Legislation historically proceeds from the particular to the general; and

therefore, if we get in one manuscript a law couched in a particular form, while in another the principle of that law is laid down generally, we may

safely conclude that the particular form is the earlier. In some cases this is

very plain. C. pt deals with Xoipov, 7rpoplarov, or IKV•v.

MQ add at the end

of the chapter: To av3T 8 cal Eali )lraivy (Q inserts TO\ o1ov obv) xET'VOv. C. vfl deals with a 1coov or Xotpov which falls into a snare. MQ after Xotpov insert i

adio (diXXov Q) Trt KT^VOv. C. •y

deals with a fpov,. Q adds at the end: 7T

aiVTCO Ka- a rept ~vov. Another way in which the scope of a provision is

enlarged is by the substitution of a general for a limited word: e.g. tq 1 ,/p-

7reXcOva MNS] d'yphv GPQ.

(2) Another mark of an original body of legislation is the existence of

inconsistencies; and here I do not speak of inconsistencies between different

provisions, but of inconsistencies within the limits of a single chapter. Where a law is laid down for the first time the legislator is sometimes in

doubt as to the precise limits of its application His enactment is tenta-

tive; and the result is that sometimes, as he goes on, he seems to forget what

he has said in the beginning. He lays down the law at first with respect to

two or more objects. In the end his thoughts are concentrated on one. Or,

THE FARMER'S LAW 91

vice versa, he begins by dealing with one object, and he sees before he has finished that the same principle applies to more. Here are some cases. C.

t• begins by referring to an daWreXWv or Xdpa, and ends by speaking of an ~ypo6. Here there is no variation in the manuscripts. C. Ka begins by speaking of a farmer who builds a house or plants a vineyard iv

d/ypc

aXXorpl, 7 M rwrp. Here GPQ all vary the phrase. Later on the farmer

is referred to as the man who built or planted els Tov aXX•TrptLOV ypv, and here again GPQ give a different phrase. Then again the chapter first speaks of ol 701 OOTo'rov K ptot and later of vbv TO7 rdoiov Ktptov. Here there are no variants. Again, x8 speaks first of 70'TO r•Trov Kcpto'; and immediately. uses in reference to the owner a plural: iroo8mtv, where PQ give SWoodro. In

hX the content of the chapter broadens out. It begins by referring to a destructive ox; it, ends by including asses and sheep. C. va speaks first of an

ap/re•0Xqv or co9 and then only of a EKiro;, where PQS give

'tr'-eXo9 or

(3) In the first draft of a law ambiguities are not always noticed. These are gradually corrected as the work is revised. And, even where there is no real ambiguity, words or phrases are inserted for the sake of greater clearness. The fine careless flow of the original law-giver gives place to a meticulous accuracy.

istic of all Byzantine style of this period (see Beckh, Praefatio to his edition of the Geoponica, p. xxv)-is his passion for varying the phrase. He does not 'stand curiously upon an identity of phrasing.' On the contrary, if he has to express the same thing twice over, the chances are that he will express it in two different ways. I have dwelt on this subject elsewhere

(Introduction to the Rhodian Sea-law, p. lxv) and will therefore content

myself here with giving some examples. The writer of the Farmer's Law has to describe an agreement between two farmers to exchange their lands: he describes it in three different ways (f y e). He has to refer to one farmer

taking land from another: he describes it in six different ways (a-- ). He wishes to speak of an ox-herd receiving an ox from the farmer: he puts it first (Ky) ~av cAyEXaptoi pov to?oeOev 7rapaXafeWv 7rapa yeoppyoV /POfv .T.X.

In the four next chapters he has to say the same thing: though he uses the same words the order is always different. We are entitled to infer from cases such as these, which might be indefinitely multiplied, that, where the same idea is repeated and some manuscripts vary the phrase while others

give the same form in both cases, the manuscripts which vary the phrase represent the original text. Thus, ?a 1, a distinction is drawn between

trespassers who trespass to eat and those who trespass to steal. MN put the distinction thus: Etl elu /pv pCE(oa VeKEv ... E 6B ,cXorwq Xdptv. GQS have Veevv (in some form) in both places; P leaves out gVEKEVv in the first

place and substitutes v"eKa in the second. The readings which have been given heretofore justify us in classifying

the oldest manuscripts as follows: (1) N, as it is the oldest and the most

carefully written, so it is undoubtedly the best manuscript. M agrees on the

whole with N but it is carelessly written and it has sometimes been

influenced by a manuscript of the Q type; (2) BGS agree very closely with

one another and form another and on the whole inferior class; (3) P and Q generally agree with BGS as against MN, but their readings are distinctly inferior to those of BGS.

Some evidence may be added in confirmation of this view. In the

following passages, in addition to those mentioned before, MN agree as

against BGPQS or GPQS (= A).

It is obvious that we have here two entirely different recensions, and that of MN seems to me the preferable. But in some of these cases it is

very difficult to judge as between the conflicting readings. Where M and N

disagree, N is generally supported either by all or most of the other manu-

scripts: M that is to say stands either by itself or is supported only by one

manuscript-generally Q (M and Q agree as against the others in 7 1;

K~s 1; he 1; A0 4; vid 2). In these cases we are pretty safe in inferring that N preserves the original text. In a few cases N stands by itself:

In all but one I have placed N's reading in the text, though never with

complete confidence. That the best manuscripts may err is shown by two instances in the beginning of the book. C. 8 3 MNQS omit owing to the homoeoteleuton ei 86 o6 KaTr•eX1tj

l 8tarape'Tovo-,.

C. e 2 MNS omnit

,coXo/pv. After Es, where N breaks off, we are compelled to rely for the tradition

of the best family upon M, which, as I have said, is carelessly written and bears marks of interpolation. Here are some of its special readings:

As between BGPQS, PQ represent a distinctly inferior recension.

They have some points of contact (e.g. ve 3, v)- 3, 2, o 2, o- 4), but Q stands

perhaps closer to M than it does to P. P is the most edited of all the older

manuscripts. Here are some of its special readings:

wa 3 KOLVO'T7r9 f2] KIOLw P.

In some of these cases P's reading is an evident error; in none is it

probable or even plausible. P also constantly corrects the grammar: e.g. r 1, K, 2,

p•y 1, 3, vp 1, ve 2, vr 1, go 3.

The manuscripts which I have dealt with hitherto, although there are

striking differences among them, yet represent on the, whole one text. P has been doctored more than the others and P has prepared us to a certain

extent for the rifacimenti which we shall find in the later versions. The text of Ferrini's manuscript is before the public, and the learned

reader can compare it with mine. I will only dwell on a few points which

seem to me decisive in showing the extent to which it has been tampered with. Ferrini's manuscript omits chapters which are in all my manuscripts and which bear every mark of genuineness (~-~ o-): it omits phrases which

are in all my manuscripts (e.g. iKc 2 dv 'ov6part 70'ro Cvpiov /p?,

to the end of the chapter): it gives in a very condensed form chapters which all my manuscripts give in

a much longer form (a, cPa, Xpf, 14, 0, P, o3, oy, 7a). Ferrini's manu-

script constantly substitutes a colourless word or phrase for a picturesque one and a vague word or phrase for a precise one. In the following examples

my reading is on the left of the bracket and Ferrini's on the right.

Ferrini's scribe has an objection to dwrro0aveFv, for which he generally substitutes reXevrTio-at (e.g. Xs 3, X' 2, v1 2). But for a dog he is content to use a7rolavetv (o' 3).

Roe 18, which was written in 1349 A.D. (see Coxe's Catalogue, col. 471), represents another and equally unfaithful version but one that is based on somewhat different principles from Ferrini's. In this version practically nothing is left out which is given in my manuscripts but a. good deal is inserted from other legal authorities.

These are the principal additions: (After X) hv rcjv K rdcv U'vSppov xapCrcov 7reTvsoOTvS eltS r?Tv •v)"

manuscripts being on the left of the bracket and that of Roe 18 on the right.

The alterations are generally confined to single words or short phrases. It is rare that a whole sentence is rewritten. Examples of this are: a 4 el Sc \cal to the end of the chapter, for which Roe 18 substitutes el 8 dv

These changes, which might be greatly multiplied, are evidently due to the desire of improving the language, interpreting obsolete words, avoiding ambiguities, or giving a more rounded turn to the sentence. There are also constant changes in the grammar, on which I need not dwell, as the variants of P in my critical apparatus give an idea of the modifications which Roe 18 carries out on a larger scale. In other cases the tendency of the alteration is to enlarge the scope of the chapter. Thus in 4y 1 for 8oo\s 7TOV 6vov Roe 18 has crrTvov;. C. va in the oldest manuscripts is confined to a Poik Si'voq. Roe 18 rewrites the chapter thus: 0ioloc Kat d tEplfr7ap6 77 Ol

KO'cvXO#L 70Ti paytofi o7rroto&vey ta o i6r1 tOTov

aEctpo,? ErCT. The version in

Roe 18 is more honest than Ferrini's. Where the scribe finds a difficult

phrase in his archetype he does not leave it out but interprets it. Thus 5-- 2 o ElqS Ta 7't8ta pai;avTreS ? AcKTIcaVT6e , which Ferrini's manuscript leaves

out, is replaced in Roe 18 by wv i-h T 8ta OvXaoa'-t. Enough has been said, I hope, to show that, while these and other

versions of the Farmer's Law may throw considerable light on the develop- ment of the Byzantine vocabulary and grammar, they throw little or no light on the development of the law. The only version-of those which I have

examined-which shows any sign of an adaptation of the original provisions of the law to a different state of society is that given in Vaticanus gr. 845 ; and this version diverges so widely in language from my manuscripts that it

would have to be printed separately. I return to my manuscripts and the text which I base upon them.

They agree on the whole both as to the number and as to the order of the

chapters. According to the title of N there are eighty-three chapters; according to the title of M eighty-five. N is unfortunately imperfect. It is

possible that it treated my 82, 83, and 84 as all one chapter. As to the others: B and S treat my 83 as part of the chapter before it, and

number my 84 *ry. They terminate with my 85, which they number 7r&.

THE FARMER'S LAW 97

G commences a new numbering with my 23; and this numbering goes on to the end of the book. It treats my 83 as part of the chapter before it. It numbers my 84 ?4 and ends with my 85, which it numbers ry. PQ both

give the numeration of my text, P breaking off in the middle of 85. In M the numbering is carelessly done. The initial letters of the chapters are left to be rubricated. The rubricator sometimes slips them and at the same time neglects to give the appropriate number. The result is that in M my 85 is numbered oO. It is possible that the code was divided into eighty-five chapters from a desire to imitate the so-called cavoveg 7<rov 7yiov a7roo'roXwv.

M inserts a chapter after Ica which is not in the other manuscripts. This chapter is also found in the Ecloga ad Prochiron mutata, xxv. 18. At the end of vy MN add a chapter-treated in N as a part of vy and in M as a new chapter-which is not in the other manuscripts. It reproduces Ecloga xvii. y. After 7re, M adds two chapters. The first comes from

Dig. xlvii. 11, 9 and is also given in the Ecloga ad Prochiron mutata, xxiv. 21. The second comes from Dig. xlvii. 21, 2 and is also given in the Ecloga ad Prochiron mutata, xxiv. 22.

As regards my critical apparatus, I notice the spelling of N and usually of P, as both are carefully written. I only notice the spelling of my other

manuscripts in exceptional cases. In N the iota adscript is regularly given in the other manuscripts it is almost always omitted.
