Notes:
Justa Grata Honoria, elder sister of Valentinian III (emperor 425-455). She held the title of Augusta and has her own
De Imperatoribus Romanis entry (Ralph W. Mathisen, web address 1). The present material has been attributed to both John of
Antioch (fr. 199.2 FHG [4.613], now 292 Roberto) and
Priscus (first advocated by de Boor;
Priscus fr.64 Bornmann, fr.17 Blockley, now fr.62 Carolla). Although she includes fr.62 among her
fragmenta dubia, Carolla indicates (90-91) that the content of the Suda entry is Priscan in origin.
[1] Valentinian:
omicron 762,
omicron 763.
[2] Eugenius (executed in 449) was the manager of Honoria's estates; cf. PLRE II s.v. Eugenius(1).
