Roland Kany argues that the earliest extant reference to her as "Claudia Procula" is the "Pseudo-Dexter Chronicle", a forgery first published in 1619. However, Tibor Grüll and Jill Carington Smith both assert that the name first appears in the works of Saint Jerome (347 to 430). Ian Boxall writes that the name probably became Claudia Procula with "Pseudo-Dexter" "regular claims to the contrary notwithstanding." Claudia Procula was not an uncommon name in antiquity: the graves of several women named Claudia Procula have been uncovered, from Beirut (Syria), Cyrene (Libya), and Patara (modern Turkey), and it is also a plausible name for a daughter of a certain Claudius Proculus named in a letter by the emperor Hadrian.
