Prochiron auctum
The Prochiron auctum (= "extended [legal] manual") is a late Byzantine legal book. The collection of predominantly secular law, divided into 40 titles and 32 or 33 Paratitla (= additional title), is based on the Procheiros nomos , the text of which - including the sequence of titles - is essentially retained, but borrowed from several other legal sources, such as the Eclogue ton nomon , the Eisagoge tu nomu and the basilicas . The Prochiron auctum has survived in about a dozen complete manuscripts and appears - like the Syntagma kata stoicheion and the Hexabiblos - in connection with the judicial reform of the Byzantine emperor Andronikos III. to have originated from 1329 or 1334. Gregorios Kleidas is likely to have commissioned or even compiled the work . One in Cod. Meteor. Ἁγίου Στεφάνου 5 could represent a "preliminary stage" of the legal code.
