Also, the Latin superscription does not read "Iesus Nazarenae" which transliterates as "Jesus of Nazareth." The superscription in Latin reads "Iesus Nazarenus" meaning "Jesus The Nazarene." Students of Latin could give the example that (a) Roman was "Romanus" whereas "of Rome" or "from Rome" would be "Romae." The suffix "-us" attached to nouns such as place names are usually used to form eponyms.
