PLRE Abbreviations - Lothia - 08-15-2016
Ave Civitas,
I am reading a copy of PLRE Vol II through an inter-library loan.
Some of the abbreviations confuse me. I looked for a listing of abbreviations, but could find none that matched what I found.
An example is:
under Quaestores Sacri Palatii (west)
Alethius 1 ... ... L IV/E V
I am confused about the --[L IV/E V]-- part. What do the letters represent and where can I find their definitions? Is it possible that such abbreviations are included in Volume I ?
I don't have a copy of volume I. How important are those abbreviations?
As always, thank you for your help.

It's the date - late 4th / early 5th (century).

Oh yeah? Makes perfect sense -- now.
Thanks.
