Constitution of Anastasius I on Libyan administration 501 AD (Seg 9, 356 and 414)
5. Present or subsequent accountants or chiefs of the office staff shall not be permitted to levy anything in the name of document fees from the five detachments (numeri) of soldiers.
7. In regard to the inspection of assembled troops: the first names on the roll of each detachment or camp shall not be subject to review as ill or unfit of service, that is, the first five, if there are 100 names, or the first ten, if there are 200. The same proportion shall be maintained, whether there are more or less.
8. The honorable duke or those persons who must send messengers for such matters shall select by lot from all the detachments, and not from any one detachment, fifteen soldiers for carrying letters and dispatches, five for doorkeepers, and seven for guards at the public prison. They shall be provided from those persons in each detachment who are permitted to be of the rank of orderlies and not from those persons who are necessary for active service in battle, that is, from the group of camp patrols and those soldiers ranking next below them. All others shall continue in camp duties.
