A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. William Smith, LLD, ed. 1890

a distinguished Roman jurist, who lived under the emperor Trajan, and was a friend of the Younger Pliny.

He is spoken of by Pliny (Plin. Ep. 22) in terms of the highest praise, as not only an excellent man and profound scholar, but a lawyer thoroughly acquainted with private and public law, and perfectly skilled in the practice of his profession--in short, a living Thesaurus Juris.
