on the Epitome Juliani. 100 Finally from late-sixth-century Rome come the
Glossae, which are later summaries of Julian’s Epitome giving brief accounts
of the contents of his chapters. 101
A first-year course in Alexandria based on the Institutes of Gaius may
have been the source of the Greek marginal comments on the fourthcentury
Florentine fragments of the Institutes found in Antinoe in Egypt. 102 And
a second-semester course in Alexandria or Beirut on dowry and guardianship
based on Ulpian’s Ad Sabinum libri (books 31–6a on dowry, 36b–40a
on guardianship) is the source of the Sinaitic scholia from the middle of the
fifth century. These form part of a detailed and learned exposition of
books 35–9 of Ulpian’s work by an unknown teacher and another called
Sab . . . 103 This Sab . . . had also discussed legacies, which were studied at
the end of the first year. 104 A third-year course based on Papinian’s responsa
in Alexandria in about 500 accounts for the scholia to the Berlin and Paris
fragments of book 5 discovered in Egypt. 105
Justinian’s reformed curriculum yields, from courses in Constantinople:
the paraphrase of the Institutes by Theophilus, which was aimed at beginners
in their first year and survives in full; 106 expositions of the first nineteen
books of the Digest by Theophilus and presumably similar expositions
of the Digest by Kobidas, 107 aimed at the courses for the end of the first
year and the two following years of the curriculum; Julian’s Collectio, a
unique text from teaching based on the Codex, and the Veronese scholia to
the Codex, both directed to the fifth year; 108 to the courses at the close of
the fifth year belong Julian’s Latin and Greek explanations of Justinian’s
Novels and his De Consiliariis Dictatum, which offers advice to those completing
their studies. 109 From the corresponding activity in Beirut come the
diverse expositions of Digest texts from Dorotheus (soon after 542), Isidore
and Stephanus, 110 from whom we have also the meagre remains of his lectures
on the Codex, supplemented with rather more from Thalelaeus,
Isidore and Anatolius. 111 To one or other of these leading schools must also
