Leo or LEON

3. A Graeco-Roman jurist, probably contemporary with Justinian. A legal question of Leo is cited in Basil. 29. tit. 1. schol. (vol. iv. p. 610, ed. Fabrot.) In Basil. 21. tit. 2. schol. (vol. ii. p. 633), occurs another legal question of Leo, with the corrupt heading, Λέοντις Ἀναμαρζεὺς (or Ἀναβαρζεὺς) ἐρώτηοις. Leo, in the latter passage, inquires whether a woman, who, while she was a slave, had exercised the trade of prostitution, was infamous after manumission; and Stephanus, who answers in the negative, gives a curious reason for the rule.

A Leo Sebastinus, monk and jurist, is often cited by the untrustworthy Nic. Comnenus Papadopoli, in his Praenotiones Mystagogicae. His Ecthesis Canonum is mentioned, pp. 143,216,219,249,278; and his scholia on Balsamo, p. 325.

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
