edictus Anianus. Editions This Regula was first published at Rome by Achilles Statius, A. D. 1575, and then by Petrus Ciacconus, also at Rome, A. D. 1588. It was inserted in the Supplementum Bibliothecae Patrum of Morellus, vol. i. Paris, 1639; in the Bibliotheca Patrum Ascetica, vol. i. Paris, 1661; in the Codex Regularum of Holstenius, Rome, A. D. 1661; and in successive editions of the Bibliotheca Patrum, from that of Cologn. A. D. 1618: it appears in vol. iv. of the edition of Lyon, A. D. 1677, and in vol. iv. of the edition of Galland, Venice, A. D. 1765, &c. It is given also in Vallarsi's edition of the works of Jerome, vol. ii. pars i. 2.

t as an enemy of the gods. The incident was afterwards recorded as a prognostic of his subsequent conversion and saintly eminlence. At the age of twenty he was drawn for military service in one of the civil wars which followed the death of Constantias Chlorus, in A. D. 306. The author of the Vita Pachumii says that he was levied for the service of Constantine the Great, in one of his struggles for the empire. Tillemont thinks that the war referred to was Constantine's war with Maxentius in A. D. 312, but supposes that Pachomius was drawn to serve in the army of Maximin II., in his nearly contemporary struggle against Licinius, as it is difficult to conceive that Constantine should be allowed to raise troops by conscription in Egypt, then governed by his jealous partner in the empire, Maximin. A similar difficulty applies to all Constantine's civil contests, until after the final overthrow of Licinius in A. D. 323, and the only civil war of Constantine after that was against Calocerus

It is likely, therefore, that the mention of Constantine's name is an error of the biographer, and that Tillemont is right in thinking that the conscription in which Pachomius was drawn was ordered by Maximin II. We may, therefore, with Tillemont, fix the time of Pachomius birth in A. D. 292. Papebroche makes the war to be that of Diocletian (under whom Constantine, then a youth, was serving) against the usurper Achilles,A. D. 296, but this supposition is inadmissible. The conscripts were embarked in a boat and conveyed down the Nile; and being landed at Thebes, were placed in confinement, apparently to prevent desertion. Here they were visited and relieved by the Christians of the place, and a grateful curiosity led Pachomius to inquire into the character and opinions of the charitable strangers. Struck with what he heard of them, he seized the first opportunity of solitude to offer the simple and touching prayer

the authorship of it, but also the title of Jerome to be regarded as the translator. He thinks that it may embody the rule of Pachomius as augmented by his successors. It is remarkable that this Regula, which comprehends in all a hundred and ninety-four articles, is divided into several parts, each with separate titles; and Tillemont supposes that they are separate pieces, collected and arranged by Benedictus Anianus. Editions This Regula was first published at Rome by Achilles Statius, A. D. 1575, and then by Petrus Ciacconus, also at Rome, A. D. 1588.

Antonius, Ammonas, Paulus and others [ANTONIUS; AMMONAS ; PAULUS] had devoted themselves to religious solitude before him; and even the practice of persons living all ascetic life in small communities existed before him; but in these associations there was no recognized order or government.
