The only biographical note of the donor to be gleaned is that he was an illiterate person, as one of the witnesses is also chirocrista, according to the law of Justinian (N...ov. 73,8). As the chirocrista customarily signs before the other witnesses, his appear- ance here settles the order of the two fragments as here arranged. The facts that the law of Justinian required at least five witnesses, including the chirocrista, and that Bonifatius was the fifth in the extant portion, make it seem likely that there were no other witnesses ' signatures either at the end of fragment 2 or between the two fragments, and that, therefore, the two fragments are to be read consecutively.
