Abstract:		 J C Mann (1-9) suggests the Notitia was collated some time between AD 395 and 408; what we have is a copy kept in the officium of the western magister militum, with later haphazard updating of the military chapters V-VII and XLII alone. J J G Alexander (11-49) traces the Notitia illustrations to Spirensis, with a few likely additions from completely different sources; J P Wild (51-8) describes the origin, nature and distribution of gynaecea (weaving establishments); M Roxan (59-79) tabulates pre-Severan auxilia named in the Notitia, with special notes on cohortes II Asturum and V and VI Raetorum among others; S Johnson (81-102) argues that a Saxon Shore command which must have originally included both sides of the Channel was divided between Britain and Gaul some time between 370 and 395; M W C Hassall (103-17) in describing the British section argues that at old Carlisle RIB 899 should be expanded as vik(ani) Mag(lonenses) or Mag(enses), not vik(anorum) mag(istri), Old Carlisle being Magis or Maglone, gives meanings for directores and supervenientes and suggests that Banna may be Birdoswald and Camboglanna Castlesteads; A L F Rivet (119-41) argues that the Notitia Galliarum is contemporary with the Notitia Dignitatum but asks is it ecclesiastical, what is a castrum and why are castra included, and airs other problems regarding the civitates. R M Price (143-55) suggests that the garrisons in Lower Egypt are Theodosian and form a logical system to defend against invasion from the north-east and Berber raids; J F Matthews (157-86) describes the geography of Mauretania in relation to the Notitia and Ammianus's account of the rebellion in Mauretania put down by count Theodosius; R S O Tomlin (189-209) argues that military and civil officials did not form distinct and antagonistic groups; C E Stevens (211-24) suggests that Giraldus Cambrensis consulted a manuscript that was collateral to Spirensis in this country.
