Leo or LEON
2. A praefectus praetorio of the East, under Anastasius. (Cod. 7. tit. 39. s. 6). He was probably the author of the Edictum cited by Theodorus. (Basil. vol. iv. p. 414, ed. Fabrot.) He was different from the praefectus praetorio of Italy, to whom the 143rd Novell was addressed in Latin by Justinian in A. D. 563. (Biener, Geschichte der Novellen, p. 532; C. E. Zachariae, Anecdota, p. 261, n. 43.)
