Junillus Africanus (floruit 541–549) was Quaestor of the Sacred Palace (quaestor sacri palatii) in the court of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I.Anecdota 20.17; translated by H.B. Dewing (Cambridge, Mass. 1935), p. 240 He is best known for his work on biblical exegesis, Instituta regularia divinae legis. According to M.L.W. Laistner, Junillus' work was based on the writings of one of the teachers of the School of Nisibis, Paul the Persian, and because Paul had been influenced by the writings of Theodore of Mopsuestia, Junillus' Instituta helped make Western theologians familiar with the Antiochene school of exegesis.M.L.W.
