Notes
- Same entry, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon.
Not otherwise attested in Greek in the form Laurenteia, but 'Laurentia' in Joannes Laurentius (sic) Lydus, De mensibus 1.13 (C6 CE). A.k.a. Laurentum, situated somewhere near Ostia, it was the place where Aeneas was supposed to have arrived in Latium (central Italy). See Strabo 5.3.2 and others.
Arcadius also mentions a Laurentos in Sicily.
