To the twenty-six assistants. You ask whether it is permissible to substitute for the officials called secretaries of the Quaestor experienced men whom the Quaestor may appoint temporarily, in the presence of the Holy Gospels. The persons substituted as aforesaid shall pay those whose places they occupy the sum of a hundred solidi; the officers of these three ranks, that is to say, those next in order to the employees of the Bureau of Memorials, and the two other Bureaus, even though they may not be included among the twenty-six assistants, shall have the same right to substitute others in their stead. Hence the assistants of the employees most closely connected with the Imperial Bureaus shall have the right to sell their employments, provided the amount received is not above a hundred solidi, and the substitute is approved by the Quaestor. This Constitution expressly confers this privilege upon Theodosius, Epictetus, Quirillus, Sebastian, and Perigenes. If one of the twenty-six assistants should die, his heir shall, with the consent of the Qusestor, discharge the duties of his office, provided he pays a hundred solidi. All the children of the deceased, even though they may not be the heirs of their father, shall enjoy the same privilege.
