For abbreviations, GRBS follows the usage described in the American Journal of Archaeology 90 (1986) 384-394, and secondarily that of L"Année philologique; for ancient and Byzantine authors and titles, the practice of the Oxford Classical Dictionary 3rd ed. (Oxford 1996) xxix-liv, A Patristic Greek Lexicon ed. G. W. H. Lampe (Oxford 1961) xi-xlv, and the Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium (Oxford 1991) I xx-xlv; references to papyri should conform to the abbreviations listed in the Checklist of Editions. Recent articles can be consulted for format. Contributors are requested to observe these usages in preparing their manuscripts.
