Oxford Classical Dictionary, viewed online Dec. 21, 2018 (Aelius Paetus, Sextus. Roman lawyer nicknamed Catus (clever); consul in 198 BCE; author of Tripertita, so called because it contained three elements: the law of the Twelve Tables, an account of their interpretation, and the formulas for use in litigation and possibly private transactions (legis actiones); he has some claim to have been the first professional legal author; his work was praised by Sextus Pomponius as a cradle of the law (cunabula iuris) and was used in the later republic)
