This chapter appears in the first volume of a comprehensive treatment of 'Junian Latins' (a form of freed status for slaves under Roman law), deriving from a workshop held in Santiago de Compostela in September 2019. The volume is available as Open Access from Edinburgh University Press.This chapter (itself based upon a contribution to the Festschrift for Detlef Liebs published in 2011) provides a survey of all explicit (and some implicit) textual references to Junian Latins from the third century AD and through the early mediaeval period as far as the revival of Justinianic law (c.AD1100). These texts comprise mostly normative legal materials, starting with the so-called "Tituli ex corpore Ulpiani", and include the Theodosian and Justinian Codes and their derivatives on into the medieval period, both east and west. There are also other items, such as occurrences in documents and glossaries. There will in addition be information on the use of the term 'dediticius', which appears along with 'Latin' in many of the same texts, and in part has a similar trajectory of transmission (both statuses being abolished by Justinian).
