a Roman jurist, contemporary with Julianus. whom he once cites by the expression Julianus
noster. (Dig. 28. tit. 6. s. 6.) From this we
infer, not that he was a pupil of Julianus, but that he belonged to the same legal school.
(Compare Dig. 7. tit. 7. s. 5.) He probably therefore flourished in
the time of Hadrian. It has been suggested from the agreement of date, that he was the same
person as Pactumeius Clemens, and that his name in full was Ter. Pactumeius Clemens, but this
is not likely. No jurist is mentioned in the Digest by the name Clemens simply, but, as if
expressly for the sake of distinction, we have always either Terentius Clemens or Pactumeius
Clemens. Terentius is nowhere cited in any extant fragment of any other jurist. He wrote a
treatise on the famous lex Julia et Papia Poppaea, with the title " Ad
Leges Libri xx.," and of this work 35 fragments (belonging, according to Blume's
hypothesis, to the classis edictalis), are preserved in the Digest. They
are explained by Heineccius in his excellent commentary on the lex Julia et Papia Poppaea.
