Gaius Calvisius Sabinus — probably son of Gaius Calvisius Sabinus (consul 4 BC) — was consul under Tiberius in 26 with Gnaeus Cornelius Lentulus Gaetulicus. In 32 he was accused of maiestas, but was saved by Celsus, tribune of a city cohort, who was one of the informers. He was governor of Pannonia under Caligula and was accused with his wife Cornelia but, knowing they would only receive a show-trial, committed suicide along with her before they could be brought to trial.

Massurius Sabinus, a hearer of Ateius Capito, a distinguished jurist in the time of Tiberius. He lived under Nero also, for the passage in Gaius (ii. 218) must certainly refer to this Sabinus, and not to Caelius. This is the Sabinus from whom the school of the Sabiniani took its name. Massurius was nearly fifty years of age before he was admitted into the Equestris Ordo, and he is said to have been poor enough to require pecuniary assistance from his hearers. He obtained under Tiberius the Jus Respondendi, which is a proof of his reputation as a jurist and is further evidence that the Sabiniani took their name not from Capito, but from his more distinguished pupil. There is no direct excerpt from Sabinus in the Digest, but he is often cited by other jurists, who commented upon his Libri tres Juris Civilis. Pomponius wrote at least thirty-six Libri ad Sabinum, Ulpianus at least fifty-one, and Paulus at least forty-seven books. This fact in itself shows that the work of Massurius must have been considered to be a great authority. It is conjectured, but it is pure conjecture, that the arrangement was the same as that of the Libri XVIII. Juris Civilis of Q. Mucius Scaevola. Numerous works of Massurius are cited by name in the Digest. (Jurists)
