32 Legiones comitatenses: Menapii seniores Fortenses Propugnatores seniores Armigeri defensores seniores Septimani seniores Regii Pacatianenses Vesontes Mattiarii iuniores Mauri cetrati Undecimani Secundani Italiciani Germaniciani iuniores Tertiani Italica Tertia Herculea Lanciarii Gallicani Honoriani Propugnatores iuniores Secunda Britannica Septimani iuniores Praesichantes Ursarienses Cortoriacenses Geminiacenses Honoriani felices Gallicani Tertia Iulia Alpina Prima Flavia Pacis Secunda Flavia Virtutis Tertia Flavia Salutis Flavia victrix Constantina Secunda Flavia Constantiniana Tertio Augustani Fortenses

18 Pseudocomitatenses: Prima Alpina Secunda Iulia Alpina Lanciarii Lauriacenses Lanciarii Comaginenses Taurunenses Antianenses Pontinenses Prima Flavia Gallicana Constantia Martenses Abrincateni Defensores seniores Mauri Osismiaci Prima Flavia Metis Superventores iuniores Constantiaci Corniacenses Septimani Romanenses

The units' shield patterns are illustrated below from top to bottom, left to right, in the order given above, using the Bodleian manuscript pictures, except that only one pattern is given for the two Mattiaci units; the three contiguous units Exculcatores seniores, Sagittarii Tungri and Exculcatores iuniores are not illustrated; the Brachiati iuniores is also not illustrated; and a 'Batavi iuniores' is shown in between the Invicti iuniores Britanniciani and the Exculcatores iuniores Britanniciani. As a shield pattern labelled 'Batavi' is depicted in the correct place for the Batavi iuniores, that labelled 'Batavi iuniores' would seem to correspond to some other unit. As it is sandwiched between two other 'British' units, it would seem to be the missing 'Britones' recorded as serving under the Master Equitum in his Gallic command rather than one of the other units mentioned above as present but not illustrated. That its full name was Batavi iuniores Britanniciani is not beyond the realm of possibility.

Note that another Auxilia palatina unit called the Salii is also listed under the Magister Praesentalis I; another unit of Regii is listed under the Magister Praesentalis II, as an Auxilia palatina rather than a Legio comitatenses unit; another unit of Undecemanii is listed under the Magister Praesentalis II, as a Legio palatina rather than a Legio comitatenses unit; and in addition to the two different Fortenses units listed above, another Fortenses unit, a Legio palatina, is listed under the Magister Praesentalis I.

Below are the corresponding pictures from the Munich manuscript: each respective page from the first portion first, then the second.
