22. Evergetis - Dumbarton Oaks

ELEVENTH CENTURY
29. See my “Documentary Evidence” and “Evergetis Monastery.”
30. For limits on numbers elsewhere in earlier and contemporary documents, see (9) Galesios [246], (10)
Eleousa [5], (13) Ath. Typikon, (16) Mount Tmolos [1], [2], (17) Nikon Metanoeite [5], and (19) Attaleiates
[27].
31. Pseudo-Basil, Poenae 13, 59, PG 31, cols. 1308C, 1313C.
32. See below, Chapters Five and Six.
33. See (9) Galesios [223] and (15) Constantine IX.
34. Not surprisingly, this radical idea is not picked up by any of the successor institutions in the Evergetian
tradition except for (30) Phoberos [35].
35. For examples, see (35) Skoteine [33], [38], [39].
36. See (4) Theodore Studites [9], [15], [16], [17].
37. Note, for example, the placement of the heading to [4], which consigns the author’s introduction to the
discussion of the hours to [3], a discussion of his role in the development of the foundation; the heading
to [18], which isolates the author’s own introduction to [18] with [17]; the heading to [35], which
likewise isolates the author’s own transition to the subject of discussion in [35] in [34]; the especially
awkward placement of the heading for [39], which divides the author’s discussion of the exclusion of
women into two chapters; and the heading to [39], which fails to describe both of the two very different
topics included in this chapter.
38. E.g., (32) Mamas [47] and (33) Heliou Bomon [46], which both appear to “remedy” the awkward division
between (22) Evergetis [3] and [4]; (27) Kecharitomene [13], which “ignores” the division between
(22) Evergetis [13] and [14]; (30) Phoberos [36], which does the same for the divisions among
(22) Evergetis [15], [16], and [17]; (30) Phoberos [48], which appears to “consolidate” (22) Evergetis
[31], [32], and [33], or (30) Phoberos [55], which “remedies” the awkward division between (22)
Evergetis [38] and [39]. There are many other possible illustrations of this editorial phenomenon.
39. Note repetitive treatments of: [7] confession to the superior, cf. [15]; [9] no secret eating, cf. [22]; [9]
duties of the refectorian and disciplinary official, cf. [31]; [9] condemnation of quarrels over precedence,
cf. [42]; [13] investiture ceremony for officials, cf. [29]; [20] duties of the treasurer, cf. [30];
[22] no personal possessions, cf. [27], [42]; and [32] warning against careless administration of the
monastery’s property, cf. [42].
40. (22) Evergetis [14], [18], [19], [20], [32], [42].
