  Depending on the readings and interpretations, Abadaego is reconstructed in literature also as Aradaego or even Amoaego.

  Toponymic onomastic complement from Gallaecia.
• Am(b)runaeco
  Toponymic? Variant of Am[r]unaeco? In both cases appears as epithet of Arentius.

  Toponymic? Variant of Ambrunaeco? In both cases appears as epithet of Arentius.
• Anabaraeco
  Common Gallaecian (Ourense region) element invoked together with Revve. Of unclear meaning and morphology (theonymic?), it seems related to aquatic environments (hydronym?).

• Augustus -a
  Extended epithet in all the regions of the Roman Empire. See in extension: Villaret, Alain (2016): Les dieux augustes dans l’Occident romain: un phénomène d’acculturation. Université Michel de Montaigne - Bordeaux III. It is generally related to the imperial cult or imperial power (first category). If accepted a devalued meaning of Augustus, the term can be interpreted as honour or for naming a divine category, such as Deus or Sanctus (second category).
