[Footnote 3: See, in the first volume of Banduri's Imperium
Orientale, Constantinus de Thematibus, p. 1 - 24, de
Administrando Imperio, p. 45 - 127, edit. Venet. The text
of the old edition of Meursius is corrected from a Ms. of
the royal library of Paris, which Isaac Casaubon had
formerly seen, (Epist. ad Polybium, p. 10,) and the sense is
illustrated by two maps of William Deslisle, the prince of
geographers till the appearance of the greater D'Anville.]
