Translation
[A name] which is said along with another proper name.1
"[Camillus] giving a sobriquet to Marcius, Corvinus, in reference to the animal which fought with him in his single combat." For Romans call the crow corvus.2
And elsewhere Aristophanes [writes]: "how good it is to have many nicknames!" As if he said, those who serve on juries strive in vain to have many names.3
