Papyrus fragments PSI XIII 1348 contain a pre-Justinianean numbered collection of legal definitions in Greek language, with Latin extracts from Roman legal literature. In anticipation of a new edition of the text (project ERC-Redhis), the purpose of this paper is to highlight some structural features which have not been discussed before, in order to support an updated analysis of the collection.
Two elements are particularly worth stressing : the arrangement of the definitions matches the reading order of their Roman sources (Ulpian's libri ad Sabinum in particular), and the definitions included in the selection mostly concern unconventional meanings of the lemmata. These features make the compilation PSI XIII 1348 a valuable testimony to legal text typologies circulating in the 5th and 6th centuries AD.
