   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Gaius (lived 2nd century AD)

Roman jurist. Gaius is one of the principal sources of our knowledge of Roman law, but little is known about his life. His book, the Institutes survives and formed the basis of the Institutes of the Byzantine emperor Justinian.

The Institutes was known only in fragments and citations until the text was dixcovered on a palimpsest 1816. The book's authenticity was long disputed, but was finally confirmed by the discovery 1933 of fragments on Egyptian papyri.
