Explanation:
Ottateuco significa i primi otto libri della Bibbia. Non ho trovato riferimenti con Costantinopoli, ma parecchi con Bisanzio, vedi:

The first recorded use of the word Ὀκτάτευχος (literally “eight books”) was by Prokopios of Gaza (d. 538), who called a volume of his biblical commentary Exe- geses of the Octateuch (Εἰς τὴν Ὀκτάτευχον ἐξηγήσεις).1 The term is derived from the more commonly encountered term “Pentateuch.” The Octateuch is a unit commencing with the five books of Moses, generally known to both hellenized Jews and Greek-speaking Christians as the Law (ὁ Νόμος [Torah])—that is, Gen- esis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. To the Pentateuch were added the historical books of Joshua and Judges, which continue the narrative of Deuteronomy, and the short book of Ruth, which is set in the period of Judges (Ruth 1:1).2
