Notes
- The nomen of a line of Romans who bore the cognomen Scaevola ('Lefthanded'). For the origin of the cognomen, and the earliest-attested of the Mucii (whose courage under torture impressed King Lars Porsen(n)a of Clusium), see OCD4 p.971, under Mucius (RE10) Scaevola, Gaius.
Also a third-century martyr in whose honor the emperor Constantine built a church at Constantinople: see Wortley, pp. 363-368.
