in the texts
Institutes of Roman Law
Roman jurist whose Sententiae Receptae is the work cited when Paulus is referenced.
When Ulpian or Paulus are quoted, the works referred to are the Ulpiani Fragmenta or Excerpta ex Ulpiani Libro singulari Regularum, and the Sententiae Receptae of Paulus.
The following were the corresponding formalities of Roman law prescribed by lex Julia vicesimaria:

The Rights of War and Peace
Roman jurist cited on the danger of private redress of wrongs.
Paulus, the Lawyer, observes that “what can be done by a magistrate with the authority of the state, should never be intrusted to individuals;
And it is absurd, says Paulus, another legal authority, for men to be called rich before they possess the means of being so.

Roman commander who died at the Battle of Cannae.
Spain would not have seen the Scipios falling for their country in a single war, nor Cannae Paulus and Geminus, Venusia Marcellus, Litana Albinus, Lucania Gracchus.

The Freedom of the Seas (Mare Liberum)
Roman jurist cited on the applicability of the uti possidetis interdict to private sea-related claims.
Exempli causa, si quis Lucullum aut Apollinarem in privato suo, quatenus diverticulum maris incluserant, piscari prohibuisset, dandum illis interdictum Paulus putavit non solum iniuriarum actionem, ob causam scilicet privatae possessionis.
In the light of all this the meaning of Paulus is clear when he says that if any one has a private right over the sea, the rule uti possidetis applies.
This error receives support from misinterpretation of what Paulus has to say about a private right of possession on the sea.
On the Nature of the Gods
Roman commander (Aemilius Paulus) whose official letters confirmed the defeat of Perseus.
and when he reported this to the senate, he was at first thrown into prison, as having spoken too rashly of public affairs, but afterwards, when letters arrived from Paulus and the same day was found to agree, he was rewarded by the senate with land and exemption from service.
But if they take thought for those who dwell, as it were, in a kind of great island which we call the orb of the earth, they take thought also for those who hold the parts of that island, Europe, Asia, Africa.

and to them was given a soul out of those everlasting fires which you call constellations and stars, which, globed and round, animated by divine minds, complete their circles and orbits with wondrous swiftness.
Stromata
The acquaintance of Lacydes reported by Timotheus of Pergamum to have endured torture.
since not only Aesopians and Macedonians and Laconians endured being racked, as Eratosthenes says in his work On Goods and Evils, but Zeno the Eleatic too, when compelled to tell something of the secret things, held out against the tortures, confessing nothing, but in the end bit out his tongue and spat it at the tyrant, whom some call Nearchus, others Demylus.
Ancient Law
Later Roman jurist noted as author of treatises rather than Responses.
But Ulpian and Paulus, Gaius and Papinian, were not authors of Responses.
Consolation to Marcia
Roman general (Aemilius Paulus) who triumphed over King Perses of Macedon while burying his own two remaining sons, yet publicly gave thanks for his fortune.

Paulus, about the days of that most renowned triumph in which he drove Perses, the name of an illustrious king, in chains before his car, gave two sons in adoption, and buried the two he had kept for himself.
