Summary/Abstract: The Constantinian Excerpts and the Excerpta Anonymi should be seen within the context of the culture of Sylloge. The two works share signifi cant similarities in terms of content, format, and methodology. This article centers on the possibility of a textual relation between the Excerpta Anonymi and the Constantinian Excerpts. I advance the hypothesis that the anonymous compiler of the Excerpta Anonymi relied on earlier collections of excerpts and must have drawn on draft copies produced during the redaction of the Constantinian collections.
