Together.

Note.
This brief preface, by some ancient collector, is found
in the printed editions of Zonaras and of Balsamon and also in the
Amerbachian manuscript.

Such is the caption in
the Parisian edition of Zonaras; so too reads the Amerbachian codex;
adding, however, that the number of canons is 60, and substituting for
“Pacatiana” “Capatiana,” a not unusual form of
the same word.
