Abstract
Summary It is a point of contention whether the Theodosian Code contains also obsolete constitutions as foreseen for the projected interim code of CTh 1,1,5, or only valid constitutions (with the exception of Book 16). The text of CTh 1,1,6 is unclear in this point and seems to be a mere continuation of the plan of CTh 1,1,5. However, it appears that the first view does not take into account other statements of Theodosius, and that research into particular subjects shows the compilers have rendered a logically consistent review of the law, without superfluous texts. In view of this evidence it is better to assume that also elsewhere in the Books 1 to 15 as a rule only valid laws were included.
