The old Latin versions of the Greek canons, collated against every manuscript Turner could reach, with the African conciliar dossier printed alongside them. FACTS-ONLY. ⚠ WHAT THIS ROW USED TO PROMISE WAS NOT TRUE AND IS WORTH KEEPING ON THE RECORD. It said 'the African and Gallic conciliar material, including the subscription lists of the African councils — which is the route to dating the seven carthage tenures this dataset still cannot fix.' Read on 13 Aug 2026: there is no Gallic conciliar material (the 'interpretatio Gallica' is a Gallic TRANSLATION of the Greek canons, which is a different thing), and the African dossier dated no carthage tenure at all. What it did give is two men placed in the see on a day: Caecilianus at t. I p. 84, no. 207 of the collated Nicene subscription lists, Africa's one subscriber at Nicaea in 325; and Aurelius at t. I p. 592, first signature of the African canons of 30 May 419, with the council dating itself by consulate in its own heading. A subscription fixes a man IN an office; it is not an accession and not a death, and no year went onto a tenure from here. ⚠ AND THE FASCICLE IS THE WHOLE OF THE CITATION. EOMA came out over forty years and archive.org holds it under four identifiers of three different lengths. `ecclesiaeoccide00turngoog` — which this row's url pointed at until 13 Aug 2026 — is Tom. II pars prior, Ancyra and Neocaesarea, and has four occurrences of 'Carthag' in it, every one about Ferrandus the deacon as a witness to the text. `ecclesiaeocciden01turn_0` is tomus I, and it is the one with the Gesta de nomine Apiarii. Both are in bronze under data/bronze/archive-texts; nothing about Africa is read out of the fascicle. ⚠ ITS TABLES MUST BE READ FROM THE PAGE IMAGE. The Nicene collation prints in parallel columns across the leaf and its OCR serialises the running heads out of order — p. 84 reads as 94 in the text stream — so both locators here were checked against iiif.archive.org before they were written. Latin, unfinished, and for specialists. Public domain by imprint date; the pre-1929 fascicles are clear, the later ones closer to the line, and only 1899-1907 material is used. Item page and OCR download both answered 200 on 13 Aug 2026.
