We must state here, that in the printed editions of the Ritual, as also in manu- 

 scripts, the lines or members (KcoXa) are, for economical reasons, separated from each 

 other only by commas and colons, without reference to the sense. 



§ 42. 



This kind of composition first made its appearance in the fifth century. Theodorus 

 Lector calls Anthimus and Timocles the authors of the TpoTrdpia.^'^^ But it cannot be 

 supposed that this expression applies to all the troparia used in the Greek church ; for 

 by far the greater part of them Avcrc written after the close of the sixth century. 

 It must then refer to some particular class of troparia. Now, in the Greek 

 Ritual, rpoTrdpiov, when unaccompanied by a qualifying word or expression, means 

 the proper troparion, that is, the troparion appropriate to some particular feast ; in 

 which acceptation it is called also diTo'KvriKi.ov, ov rpoTrdpiov r^? i^/Mepa's.''^^ We 

 are authorized, therefore, in assuming that the proper troparia for the church feasts cele- 

 brated in the fifth century were written by Anthimus and Timocles. 



Saint Romanus is, according to his anonymous biographer, the author of the kov- 

 TUKia; which can refer only to the kontakia for the church feasts kept when Romanus 

 flourished ; that is, about the close of the fifth century.'^'^
