Notes on the current edition

Firmus Saturninus, Proculus et Bonosus

1. His revolt is mentioued also in Prob., xviii. 5; Eutropius, ix. 17, 1; Epit., 37, 2, but no details are given. In all these passages it is said to have taken place at Agrippina (Cologne), whereas in c. xiii. 1 we are told that it was at Lugdunum (Lyons). If the statement in c. xiii. 4 and Prob., xviii. 7 that he attempted to combine forces with the Franks be correct, it may be that he began the revolt in Gaul but was forced to retreat to northern Germany, where he was finally defeated. The date was probably 280 ; see note to Prob., xviii. 1.
