Count Ausonius

Abstract

In PLRE I 622 there is recorded under the rubric "Ausonius Nemesianus 3, comes (East) IVN", a figure whose entry reads as follows: [...], landowner in Egypt Stud. Pal. XX 111 Hermopolis Magna. His brother, also a land-owner, was Heraclides". Virtually every element of this description is in need of correction. The net result is the disappearance of this entry and serious questions about another.
