Wickham, CCSG xxix (1994; bk ii), xxxii (1996; bk iii. 1–19), xxxv (1998; bk iii. 20–34), liv (2003; bk iii. 35–50 and indices etc.). A passage in Contra Eunomium I and quoted by Peter (Contra Damianum iii.21, lines 204ff. [Eng.trans.]) as from chapter 30 partially fills a lacuna noted by Jaeger (i. 154), as does another as from Contra Eunomium III, bk viii (Jaeger ii. 247) quoted by Peter in Contra Damianum iii. 45, lines 142–82. Some Greek words missing in Jaeger i.149 ad init. before τῆς οὐσíας are quoted by Peter as from Contra Eunomium I c. 29 in Contra Damianum iii.5 lines 76ff. The chapter headings of Contra Eunomium I, printed separately by Jaeger, are noted as by Gregory himself; the divisions known to Peter do not correspond with the Greek manuscripts used in PG. Peter attests only the incipit of Contra Eunomium II.
