The Corpus of Dated Byzantine Inscriptions will furnish fixed points of reference for establishing the chronology of the rest of Byzantine inscriptions and will lay the groundwork for Byzantine epigraphy, a discipline which does not as yet exist. In addition to severing epigraphists, the Corpus will help students in various branches of Byzantinology in dating their evidence. In addition, we shall train up to four graduate students in Byzantine epigraphy (field, 1974 and 1975).
