Distinctiones
21.1, 67.20: Gratian himself makes some observations
on the numerous names given to those who monitor priests and are subject
to the pope, those whom we usually call "bishops": "Inter eos quedam discretio
seruata est, ut alii appellentur simpliciter "sacerdotes," alli "archipresbyteri,"
alii "corepiscopi," alii "episcopi," alii "archiepiscopi" seu "metropolitae,"
alii "primates," alii "patriarchae," alii "summi Pontifices." The same
observation could be made about those found between bishops and priests
or deacons.
50.6, 179.15: Pope Nicolas I (858-867) writes
a letter to Chorbishop Osbald of Quadrantinus
50.38, 194.36: another letter from N to O, though
most manuscripts call him "co-bishop" rather than "chorbishop"
64.1, 247.31: Gratian himself mentions the ordination of chorbishops as if it were still normal and occurring.
67.1, 253.20: again, on the ordination of chorbishops, from Ps-Anacletus (Isidore?)
68.3, 254-55: bishops must be ordained in cities
but chorbishops can be ordained in towns (in vicis); bishops have the right
of consecration but chorbishops can only ordain minor orders, not deacons
or priests
68.4, 255: In what ways chorbishops and bishops
differ (#2)
68.4.3: Gratian notes that chorbishops are today banned from the church.
69.1, 256.31: with permission of the bishop, it is allowed chorbishops to "promouere lectores" ?
95.1, 331.38: Refers back to D. 68, Quamvis corepiscopis
De consecratione, 1294.11: chorbishops
should consecrate churches or vessels
