TheSynecdemus orSynekdemos (Greek:Συνέκδημος) is a geographic text, attributed toHierocles, which contains a table of administrative divisions of theByzantine Empire and lists of their cities. The work is dated to the reign ofJustinian but prior to 535, as it divides the 912 listed cities in the Empire among 64Eparchies. TheSynecdemus, along with the work ofStephanus of Byzantium were the principal sources ofConstantine VII's work on the Themes (De Thematibus).
TheSynecdemus was published in various editions beginning in 1735, notably byGustav Parthey (Hieroclis Synecdemus; Berlin, 1866) and slightly later in a corrected text by A. Burckhardt in theTeubner series.[1] The most recent major publication was by E. Honigmann (Le Synekdèmos d'Hiéroklès et l'opuscule géographique de Georges de Chypre; Brussels, 1939).
