This plan was left unfinished, but the work of a second commission that met in Constantinople, assigned to collect all of the general legislations and bring them up to date, was completed; their collection was published as the Codex Theodosianus in 438.
See töö jäi lõpetanmata, ent teine komisjon, mis pidi kokku koguma kõik üldised õigusaktid, viis oma töö lõpule ning tulemus (Codex Theodosianus) ilmus 438.
