Pomponius
       (<bibl n="Dig. 1">Dig. 1</bibl>. tit. 2. s. <hi rend="ital">un.</hi> § 44) enumerates
      ten disciples of Servius, among whom T. Caesius is mentioned, in a passage not free from the
      inaccuracy of expression which pervades the whole title <title>De Origine Juris.</title> His
      words are these : <quote xml:lang="la">Ab hoc (Servio) plurimi profecerunt : fere tamen hi
       libros conscripserunt : <hi rend="smallcaps">ALFENUS</hi>

       <hi rend="smallcaps">GELLIUS.</hi> Ex his decem libros octoconscripserunt, quorum omnes qui
       fuerunt libri digesti sunt ab Aufidio Namusa in centum quadraginta libros.</quote> It is not
      clear from this account whether (according to the usual interpretation of the passage) only
      eight of the ten were authors, or whether (as appears to be the more correct interpretation)
      all the ten wrote books, but not more than eight wrote books which were digested by Aufidius
      Namusa. In the computation of the eight, it is probable that the compiler himself was not
      included. T. Caesius is nowhere else expressly mentioned in the Digest, but <quote xml:lang="la">Ofilius, Cascellius, et <hi rend="ital">Servii auditores,</hi></quote> are
      cited <bibl n="Dig. 33">Dig. 33</bibl>. tit. 4. s. 6.1, and the phrase <hi rend="ital">Servii
       auditores</hi> occurs also <bibl n="Dig. 33">Dig. 33</bibl>. tit. 7. s. 12, pr., and <bibl n="Dig. 33">Dig. 33</bibl>. tit. 7. s. 12.6. In <bibl n="Dig. 39">Dig. 39</bibl>. tit. 3. s.
      1. <hi rend="ital">§</hi> 6, where <hi rend="ital">Servii auctores</hi> is the reading of
      the Florentine manuscript of the Digest, <hi rend="ital">Servii auditores</hi> has been
      proposed as a conjectural emendation. Under these names it has been supposed that the eight
      disciples <pb n="558"/> of Servius, or rather Namusa's Digest of their works, is referred to.
      If so, it is likely that the eight included T. Caesius, and did not include A. Ofilius.
      Dirksen (<hi rend="ital">Beitraege zur Kunde des Roem. Rechts,</hi> p. 23, n. 52, et p. 329),
      who thinks this supposition unnecessary, does not, in our opinion, shake its probability.
      Gellius (<bibl n="Gel. 6.5">6.5</bibl>) quotes the words of a treaty between the Romans and
      Carthaginians from Alfenus, " in libro Digestorum trigesimo et quarto, Conjectaneorum [al.
      Conlectaneorum] autem secundo." As it is known from the Florentine Index, that Alfenus wrote
      forty books Digestorum, and as no other work of his is elsewhere mentioned, it has been
      supposed that the Conjectanea or Conlectanea cited by Gellius is identical with the
      compilation of Namusa in which were digested the works of <hi rend="ital">Servii
       auditores.</hi> It must be observed, however, that the Florentine Index ordinarily enumerates
      those works only from which the compiler of the Digest made extracts, and that the Roman
      jurists frequently inserted the same passages verbatim in different treatises. That the latter
      practice was common may be proved by glancing at the inscriptions of the fragments and the
      formulae of citation, as collected in the valuable treatise of Ant. Augustinus, <hi rend="ital">de Nominibus Propriis Pandectarum.</hi> For example, in <bibl n="Dig. 4">Dig.
       4</bibl>. tit. 4. s. 3.1, Ulpian cites Celsus, " Epistolarum libro undecimo et Digestorum
      secundo." (Bertrandi, <foreign xml:lang="grc">Βίοι Νομικῶν</foreign>, 2.13 ; Guil.
      Grotii, <hi rend="ital">Vitae Jurisconsultorum,</hi> 1.11.9; Zimmern, <hi rend="ital">R. R.
