- Check Corpus inscriptionum latinarum please. 94.67.90.106 18:59, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- It's real, but massively rare. This book lists it, with a citation to a certain inscription (as for which inscription, I'm too lazy to decipher their system, so I don't know). —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 15:14, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- It's rare but it does exist. A small but significant number of google books mention it and the book "Corpus inscriptionum latinarum" refers to the connection between the names (Thedusius-Teodusius). There is also the district of Naples, San Giovanni a Teduccio, with "Teduccio" coming from "Theodosius" (see [1] "Da Teodosius si fa derivare Teodusius, Teoducius e poi Teduccio") in a comparable way in modern Italian (note the different forms that the name can take, the pronunciation doesn't differ a lot). Btw, the feminine equivalent "Tedusia" is more widely used. 94.67.90.106 18:59, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- The book MK mentions contains the line Tedius, Tedusius, Tedasin(ius) 293n15; it's not even clear if that means this form in particular is used. I can find a few things in other books, like:
- 1978, Gabriella Bodei Giglioni, Filippo Coarelli, Studi su Praeneste, page 142:
- Q. Vettius T. (f) Pulcher.
- — Tedusius T. (f.).
- 1978, Gabriella Bodei Giglioni, Filippo Coarelli, Studi su Praeneste, page 142:
- Other books suggest that it's Italian, by combining it with Italian surnames in lists of Italian names. So... pass as
