Appendix 5
Geographical-Chronological List of Teachers
The list below includes every teacher entered in Part II whose place of activity is known or can reasonably be conjectured. The list begins with the two capital cities and then proceeds in the order of the fasti of provincial governors in PLRE , starting with Africa and then moving roughly from west to east through the major administrative districts of the empire. (Note that the dioceses of Gaul have not been distinguished and that no separate list has been made for the teachers of Alexandria.) The teachers in each section of the list are arranged chronologically, so far as our information allows; men who taught, e.g., in both Africa and Constantinople are entered in the two appropriate sections, with a parenthetical note concerning their prior or subsequent movements.
Most of the brief remarks that appear below should be self-explanatory. Note in particular that the language taught is mentioned only for Latin teachers in the East or for Greek teachers in the West. The grammatici , strictly so called, are not distinguished here from the other teachers—magistri ludi , 
, vel sim .—induded in the prosopography. References "s.v." are to Part II.
