See the discussion of Bachrach, Early Medieval Jewish Policy, pp. 36–37, 156 nn. 58–60, about whether Gregory neglected the more stringent provisions of Justinian's legislation, enforcing only the more lenient statutes of the Codex theododianus; and cf.

46. As quoted above, n. 7. This appears to be the only instance where Gregory qualified leges with the adjective romanae. Usually he wrote of Roman statutes simply as leges; see Thesaurus Sancti Gregorii Magni, Series A (formae), comp. Justin Mossay and Bernard Coulie, Corpus Christianorum-Thesaurus Patrum Latinorum, (Turnhout, Belgium, 1986), microfiche pp. 10106–7, 10114. Both Bachrach, Early Medieval JewishPollcy, pp. 35–38, and Baltrusch, “Gregor der Grosse,”have argued persuasively that Gregory's protection of the Jews actually exceeded the limits of both the Codex theodosianus and Justinian's Corpus iuris civilis, in fact contravening their restrictive statutes. In emphasizing that the leges of which he wrote were in fact romanae, might Gregory have recognized the uncertainty of the justification for his ruling of Sicut Iudaeis?
