The Ecloga
The short Greek law handbook issued by the Isaurian emperors, the first substantial departure from Justinian's Latin corpus in the Eastern empire.
Unverifieddraft
The essay's "short Greek handbook in 726", and the first step in its account of Byzantium repaying the same debt more than once: the Latin Digest went unread in a Greek-speaking empire, so the corpus had to be restated.
The traditional date is the one the essay uses. Scholarship is genuinely divided between 726 and 741, which is recorded here rather than resolved.
