    The rest of the seventh book consists chiefly of liturgical matter, of which no source is known. On the Didache see Harnack op. cit. pp. 86 sqq.: on minor sources used in bk. vii, Funk pp. 118-120. 3. Bk. viii falls into four parts : a. cc. 1, 2 Trep\ which perhaps includes an other- wise lost nepi xupioTidrcoz/ of S. Hippolytus : in any case, much of it is the work of the compiler. On the work of S. Hippolytus and its possible relation to these chapters see Funk pp. 136-142 ; Harnack p. 643 ; Achelis die Canones Hippolyti in Gebhardt- Harnack Texte 11. Untersuch. vi. 4, Leipz. 1891, pp. 269 sqq. On the signs of the compiler’s hand in the present form see Funk pp. 139-141, Achelis pp. 272-274, 278-280. /3. cc. 3-27 n(p\ x€LpoToviGovf consisting chiefly of the formulae for conferring all the orders and including the ‘Clementine’ liturgy (5-15) as the mass at the consecration of a bishop. y. cc. 28-46 Tiepl Kavovcov, being a collection of canons on various subjects put into the mouths mostly of individual apostles and including regulations and formulae for the blessing of oil or water (29), for the office of evening (35-37) and morning (37-39), for the offering of first-fruits (40) and for funerals (41). Most of the matter of a-y occurs also in other documents outside the Constitutions. No completely satisfactory inter- pretation of their relations to one another and to the Constitu- tions has yet been, or perhaps with the present materials is likely to be, arrived at. The documents are the following. (1) In Greek, besides a number of mss. containing fragments of various lengths of the matter of bk. viii, which are of no importance for the present purpose, there is an important group containing substantially c. 1 sq., 4 sq., 16-28, 30-34, 42-46, i. e. the nep\ xaPl(TP(*TCC>i;, the 7rtpl xeiPOTOVL^v omitting the liturgy (and with shorter forms of the prayers for the bishop and the presbyter and a different regulation as to the reader), and the irep\ navovav omitting all the liturgical elements: the ascriptions to particular apostles are omitted throughout. b 2 5 10 ]5 20 25 30 35
