Patricius (Greek: Πατρίκιος) was a fifth-century Roman jurist who taught in the ancient Law School of Berytus (present-day Beirut). Patricius was of the seven revered "Ecumenical Masters" (Greek: τῆς οἰκουμένης διδάσκαλοι) and occupied the position of Quaestor of the Sacred Palace in the East, a senior legal office in the late Roman Empire, from the middle to the late fifth century.[1]
