μετὰ τὴν πρώτην ἐπινέμησιν.  ᾽Επινέμησις is in later Greek the recognized equivalent for “indictio” in the sense of a period of fifteen years (Cod. Theod. xi. 28. 3).  I have had some hesitation as to whether it could possibly in this passage indicate a date.  But ἐπινέμησις does not appear to have been used in its chronological sense before Evagrius, and his expression (iv. 29) τοὺς περιόδους τῶν κύκλων καλουμένων ἐπινεμήσεων looks as though the term were not yet common; ἐπινέμησις here I take to refer to the assignment of presbyters to different places on ordination.  I am indebted to Mr. J. W. Parker for valuable information and suggestions on this question.
