“Osiris was known amongst the Phoenicians, in Syria and Cyprus, by the title of Thammuz [Tammuz], or Adonis. Ausonius (c.385AD), in the following verses, asserts the identity of Osiris, Dionysus, Bacchus, Liber, and Adonis: ‘Ogygia me Bacchum vocat, Osirin Aegyptus putat, Mystae Phanacem nominant, Dionyson Indi existimant, Romana sacra Liberum, Arabica gens Adoneum, Lucanianus Pantheum’.”

— Sergey Uvarov (1812), “On the Mysteries of Eleusis” (see: Osiris rescripts) [1]
