(Θαλέλαιος), a jurist, lived in the time of Justinian.
He was a professor of law, and probably at Constantinople, though there is no evidence for that. He is mentioned among the Antecessores, to whom the Constitution Omnem, &c. is addressed; but he was not employed with Tribonian and others upon the compilation of any of Justinian's law books. Thalelaeus had a high reputation : he was called the " eye of jurisprudence," (τῆς νομικῆς ὀφθαλμός).
