Reading edition

Justiniano. Justinian (483-565) the best known of the rulers of the Eastern Roman Empire; he ordered the compilation of the great code corpus juris civilis ('body of the civil law').

Triboniano. Tribonian, a famous jurist, minister under Justinian and one of the leading compilers of the corpus juris civilis.

Emiliano y Triberiano. These names are used humorously. Benavente may have invented them, or he may have meant them as mistaken references of the Doctor to eminent jurists. Thus Emiliano might be Aemilius Papinianus, a Roman jurist who lived about 200 A.D., while Triberiano might relate to the senatusconsultum Trebellianum, ascribed to Trebellius Maximus, a consul in Rome under Nero.
