Extant ancient texts provide a list of the names and deeds of some of the law school of Berytus's professorial body. Seven of the most notable Berytus (modern Beirut) professors were styled "Ecumenical Masters"; they were largely responsible for the revival of legal education in the Eastern Roman Empire. Beirut law school professors were involved in drafting parts of the Justinian's Corpus Juris Civilis, namely the Digest and the Institutes.
The scarce sources include historical accounts, works of legal scholarship, anthologies, ancient correspondences and funerary inscriptions. Below is a list that includes the dates of service of each of the identified law professors:[1]
