English summary: Critical edition and French translation of a fundamental sixth-century text on agrimensores, or land survey techniques in Late Antiquity. Borrowing from earlier works, the anonymous author also included an album of drawing to illustrate the various techniques described. These images, along with scholarly analysis and notes, are included for the first time in this new edition. French description: Vraisemblablement au VIe s., un magister chretien dont nous ne savons rien a voulu, sous le pretexte de commenter une partie de l’oeuvre gromatique de Frontin (les Qualites des terres et les Controverses), composer une sorte de digest de la litterature des agrimensores qu’il devait avoir a sa disposition dans sa quasi-integralite, en s’attachant surtout aux questions d’ordre juridique. Son ouvrage presente donc un temoignage interessant sur la reception du corpus des agrimensores lors de la periode tres tardive de l’Antiquite, sur la connaissance que l’on avait a ce moment-la de ces textes techniques, et sur les difficultes que l’on eprouvait a les lire encore et a les interpreter, car le passage du temps, depuis le moment ou avaient ecrit Frontin, Hygin et les autres auteurs canoniques, avait entraine des corruptions qui ne sont pas toujours mineures. Selectionnant, donc, les passages qui lui paraissaient importants, pratiquant un copier/coller parfois un peu aleatoire mais souvent avise, l’auteur du commentum a compose un petit manuel dont les specialistes n’ont pas toujours saisi le grand interet ni la coherence d’ensemble. Par ailleurs, une originalite remarquable de ce commentaire est qu’il est suivi, du propre aveu de l’auteur, d’un album de dessins destines a illustrer les donnees theoriques fournies par le texte. Ces illustrations ne sont pas seulement, dans la forme ou elles ont ete conservees par la tradition manuscrite, des dessins dont la beaute artistique est parfois frappante. Elles accompagnent le texte pas a pas, ce que souligne pour la premiere fois la presente edition (volume III de la serie des Arpenteurs romains dans la CUF), qui s’est attachee a les commenter en tenant compte aussi de leurs liens avec une tradition d’illustration qui remontait aux plus anciens traites des Arpenteurs.
