Baphius
Byzantine Greek legal scholar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baphius (Ancient Greek: Βάφιος) was a Greek commentator on the Byzantine code of laws called the Basilika.[1]
His date and history are uncertain, but he probably lived in the 10th or 11th century. Seventeenth-century hagiographer and historian Joseph-Marie Suarez wrote that Baphius was not strictly a proper name, but an appellative epithet given to an annotator on the Rubrics of the Basilika.[2] Other scholars reject this opinion.[3] Some scholars call him "Salomon Baphius", but this naming is obscure and possibly incorrect.[4]
