Paulinus was Amandus' catechumen [2062].
Sanemarius was probably destined by Paulinus to be ordained to lower clerical rank.
It is possible that the Exsuperius mentioned here could be identified as the bishop of Toulouse bearing the same name active in the very beginning of the fifth century.
The dating of this letter is based on the analysis of other letters sent by Paulinus to Amandus and Delphinus of Bordeaux (Walsh 1966: 1.234–235).
