JUS AELIA′NUM was a compilation by Sextus Aelius Paetus, surnamed Catus, who was consul B.C. 198 (Liv. XXXII.7), and who is called by his contemporary Ennius, "egregie cordatus homo." He is also frequently mentioned with praise by Cicero (de Rep. I.18, de Or. I.45, III.33). The Jus Aelianum, also called Tripertita, contained the Law of the Twelve Tables, an interpretatio, and the Legis Actiones. This work existed in the time of Pomponius (Dig. 1 tit. 2 s2 § 38). Cicero also speaks of some commentarii by Aelius (De Orat. I.56, Top. 2).
