One can note that, according to Sulpicius, all of these monks came after learning of Gallus stories from the day before. Hence, they all lived no more than a few hours journey from Primuliacum (but not in the same place: Aurelius is said to live the farthest).
It is possible that one of the monks, Aper, should be identified with the Presbyter Aper, to whom Paulinus of Nola addressed several letters, see [2145].
