Greeks and other provincials who gained Roman citizenship kept their Greek names as cognomens, to which they added Romannomens and praenomens—usually those of the ones to whom they owed their citizenship.

Tum videbit, ad quem hoc pertinet, quot et quae partes orationis; quanquam de numero parum convenit. Veteres enim, quorum fuerunt Aristoteles quoque atque Theodectes, verba modo etnomina et convinctiones tradiderunt; videlicet quod in verbis vim sermonis, innominibus materiam (quia alterum est quod loquimur, alterum de quo loquimur)[…]
