(GALLUS?), a Roman jurist, from whose liber responsorum two fragments
concerning tutors are preserved in the Digest. In the Florentine Index he
is named Gallus Aquila, probably from an error of the scribe in reading
de Etrusca disciplina, or with that
Aquila who, under Septimius Severus, was praefect of Egypt, and became remarkable by his
persecution of the Christians. (Majansius, Comm. ad 30 Juriscon. Fragm.
vol. ii. p. 288; Otto, in Praef. Thes. vol. i. p. 13; Zimmern, Röm. Rechts-Geschichte, vol. 1.103.)
