Usage notes[edit]
- The form Rhamsesis occurs in some editions of Gaius Plinius Secundus' Naturalis historia lib. 36 in the wording "Rhamsesis autem". Some editions have:
- "Rhamsesis autem" (ed. Iulius Sillig, 1851; ed. D. Detlefsen, 1873)
- "Rhamses is autem" (ed. Ludovicus Ianus, 1860)
- "Rhamses autem is" (ed. Iulius Sillig, 1836, giving Codex Bambergensis as source for Rhamses and mentioning Ramises, Ramisesis, Ramiseis, Famisesis as variants)
- "Ramises autem is" (ed. Joannes Harduinus, 1784; ed. Emerico-David & [Gabriel] Delafosse, 1831)
- Alfred von Gutschmid cited it as "Rhamessis (Rhamsesis cod. Bamb.) autem" with Rhamessis resembling Ῥαμέσσης (Rhaméssēs) and called Rhamsesis a wrong reading.
