The initial texts of the Digests, displayed in square brackets, were supplied by conjecture since they are missing in the Florentine book due to torn or eroded pages. The order of the initials follows the Florentine book, except that the constitution "Dēdōken" Greek: "given" is read in it after the constitution "Tanta"; we have placed both side by side.
