Usage notes
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 grc Ῥαμέσσης and called Rhamsesis a wrong reading.
