This constitution creates a magnificent magistrate for the army with the title of Quaestor. For in ancient times there were two magistrates of this kind, of whom one remained near the sovereign, and the other was placed in command of the army. The present constitution fixes the amount of the salaries to which the Quaestor and his staff are entitled, and allows him a body of attendants resembling that of the Praetorian Prefect; namely, secretaries, custodians of acts, criers, recorders, torch-bearers, and all other officials of description. It also prescribes the manner in which the emoluments of soldiers who accompany the Quaestor to war, and of those who guard the frontiers, should be distributed. It subjects to his authority five provinces, that is to say Scythia, Mysia, Caria, all the Cyclades Islands, and all of Cyprus. It grants him the right to have a tribunal for the decision of cases, without anyone being permitted to evade his jurisdiction. It includes, in addition, a list of expenses.
