72. Pancirolus, in his elaborate Commentary assigns to the
Notitia a date almost similar to that of the Theodosian
Code; but his proofs, or rather conjectures, are extremely
feeble. I should be rather inclined to place this useful
work between the final division of the empire (A.D. 395) and
the successful invasion of Gaul by the barbarians (A.D.
407). See Histoire des Anciens Peuples de l'Europe, tom.
vii. p. 40.
