3. A jurist, perhaps of the same family with No. 2, but of subsequent date. He was the son of the jurist Eudoxius, and the father of Anatolius, professor of law at Berytus, and one of the compilers of the Digest. This Leontius was one of that distinguished race to whom the expression of Justinian, explained in the preceding article, applies (Const. Tanta, § 9); and from Const. Δέδωκεν, § 9, it may be inferred that, like his father and his son, he was professor of law at Berytus.
