Latin term or phrase: de qundripartico ordine Episcoporium
The context:

If it be asked, How then these more eminent degrees of bishop, arch bishop, patriarch, &c. did enter into the church, and how these differences have arisen? Answ. The same Lombardus in that same place, de qundripartico ordine Episcoporium, doth omit his former alledging of the custom of the Testament; and other things which he abused, and out of Isidorus layeth it down thus, borum autem discretio a Gentilibus intro ducta videtur; qui suosflamines, alios simpliciter flamines, alios archi flamines, alios proto flamines appellabant. Sacerdotes enim Gentilium, falmines dicebantur, &c. Which is in sum, This difference seemeth to be brought in from the Gentiles, who used so to stile their priests, as to call some priests simply, others arch priests, others again first priests, &c. and considering that the root of the Roman hierarchy, viz., Papacy, and the ordering thereof, did arise from the superstitious Christians their initiating of the heathenish Pontifex maximus, (whereof we may see somewhat, cap. 13. lect. 4.) it is no wonder that these inferiot pillars be of the same kind. And if there were any shew from the word for such differences, it would seem that this great master had not gone to the Gentiles to be beholden to them for the same. . . .

English translation:on the fourfold order of bishops
Explanation:
The correct transcription from Durham’s book should be “de quadripartico ordine Episcoporum”, but in fact what Petrus Lombardus wrote was “quadripartiTo”, not “quadripartiCo”.

This phrase (a section title, in fact) could be translated as “on the fourfold order of bishops”.

Petrus Lombardus wrote as follows:

"De quadripartito ordine Episcoporum
Ordo autem Episcoporum quadripartitus est, scilicet in Patriarchis, Archiepiscopis, Metropolitanis, & Episcopis. …"
