[edit]OCD doesn't mention the "Quintus", and lists the "Serenus" first; I think we should follow them. Stan 06:05, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Any dates on birth and death, if only approximate? I can't find anything online, but maybe someone knows something. Dylan 21:38, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
Serenus Sammonicus
[edit]The son of Serenus Sammonicus never existed. He was an invention of the author of the "Historia Augusta," a forger of the last decade of the fourth century: Ronald Syme, Ammianus and the Historia Augusta, Oxford, 1968, 186.
Several modern scholars have proposed that Serenus Sammonicus was identical with Septimius Serenus, the author of a lost bucolic poem, and also with a mysterious Septimius, allegedly translator of the Homeric romance ascribed to Dictys Cretensis: Keyser, HSCP 96 (1994), 369-89; 375-8; Champlin, HSCP 85 (1981), 189-212; Cameron, HSCP 84 (1984), 127-75; 141-4; 163-4; 172-5.

Severus Sammonicus?
[edit]Several websites use "Severus" rather than "Serenus". Are they all wrong? https://www.theosophy.world/encyclopedia/abracadabra https://www.encyclopedia.com/philosophy-and-religion/other-religious-beliefs-and-general-terms/miscellaneous-religion/abracadabra https://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/19/messages/799.html https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/abracadabra Seananony (talk) 04:36, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
