[1] Procopius, Secret History 26.2, discussing some of Justinian's reforms of the court system, such as the abolition of the rank of professional pleader (r(h/twr; cf. Secret History 20.17) and the deprivation of the rhetors of their prizes. According to the direct transmission, the passage reads tou\s diaferome/nous; consequently, the interpretation is "[Justinian] ordered that those of the rhetors who were at variance with one another should face one another in the court, after oath"; tou\s r(h/toras seems to have been added in the Suda. Adler’s apparatus does not mention any disagreement among the manuscripts about the dative toi=s diaferome/nois, which makes the general sense of the sentence dramatically change: "join the litigants", that is, as Gaisford interpreted it, patrocinium suscipere.
