![]() ![]() The traditional association between CJ(2 ed.) 1.11.10 and the ending of pagan philosophical teaching in Athens is affirmed, with the law dated to the late summer/autumn of 529, coinciding with Tribonian taking control of legal policy. It is argued here that a convincing context for this anti-pagan measure can be found in the aftermath of the Brytae riots of 502. Thus CJ(2 ed.) 1.11.9 = CJ(1 ed.) 1.11.10 is shown to have been issued by Anastasius, a fact often overlooked by scholars, since it is not reflected in Krüger’s standard Code edition. In particular, the papyrus throws light on imperial policy towards the pagans from its presentation of material under CJ 1.11 (On Pagans, Sacrifices, and Temples). ![]() Providing the basis for a comparison with the Second Edition (the Codex repetitae praelectionis of 534), it reveals how in the later edition material was added, removed, replaced, and relocated. XV 1814 provides the most direct evidence for the contents of the First Edition of the Justinian Code (the Novus Codex of 529).
