The study consists of four prosopogmphical notes which deal with the career of high commanders and functionaries in Egypt. I. Fl. Eleuiherius is shown to have served first as dux of Thebaid and then as comes of Egypt (399-401). II. Synesius' friend the comes based in Alexandria is identified as comes Aegypti Fl. Herculianus (appointed in the summer of 395), III. Aedesius, the person guilty of not prosecuting Hypatia's murderers (415), is tentatively identified as the homonymous officer who appears as dux Thebaidis in a letter of Shenute and who could be later promoted comes Aegypti. TV. The mysterious Anatolius burned in Alexandria according to the Chronicle of Theophanes (398/9), is shown to have occupied the position of praefectus Augustalis, the last to bear the honorary rank of clarissimus. The latter note develops into a dissertation on the date of the promotion of comites Orientis, praefecti Augustales, vicarii, comites and duces to the rank of spectabiles and on the date of the Notitia Dignitatum Orientis, set inA.D. 401
