House Jerbiton is one of the twelve Houses of Hermes. It is a Societas whose members are concerned with the mundane world: typically the arts, but also scholarship and politics (though the latter interest goes somewhat against the spirit of the Code of Hermes). Its domus magna is Valnastium, in the Greater Alps Tribunal.
In ArM5 canon, House Jerbiton tries to recruit apprentices from the noble classes. The House's members often have the Gentle Gift so they can more easily socialize with mundanes. Note that these are tendencies or trends, not universal characteristics of the House. In some players' sagas, The Gift is rare enough that apprentices are always hard to find -- under those circumstances, Jerbiton magi can't afford to turn away an apprentice due to common birth or lack of the Gentle Gift.
