Suetonius, Jul. 76, errs in stating that he used the title imperator as a praenomen. |
The inscription in Caria, formerly supposed to give P. as praenomen, is now shown to have been misread. |
The Lives of the Sophists bears the praenomen of Flavius, which we find nowhere else except in Tzetzes. |
His person more than justified his praenomen, for Mr. Harper Freeman, Jr., was undeniably fat. |
He therefore changed his praenomen to that of his adoptive father, and put his former nomen among his cognomina. |
The name of the month in which he was born was changed to Julius, from his praenomen, and we still retain the name. |
