Adelphius was married to the poetess Faltonia Probe , in a marriage with whom two sons were born: Quintus Claudius Germogenian Olibrius (consul of 379 years) and Faltony Probus Alipiy ( prefect of the city ). His wife converted to Christianity after 353, and then, probably, Celsin also followed her [1] . He may have dedicated an inscription next to the main altar of the Basilica of Sant Anastasia [2] or a funerary inscription in honor of his wife [3] .
Until 333, Adelphius was proofreader of the province of Puglia and Calabria , whose center was in Benevente , which was under his patronage. In 351, he was the proconsul of an unknown province, probably Africa . At that time he was already married to Sample. From June 7 to December 18, 351, Adelphius served as prefect of the city of Rome under the usurper Magnesia. During this period, he was accused by a certain Dora of conspiring against Magnolia. It is likely that the reason for the accusation was the Prose poem, written in honor of the victory of Emperor Constantius II over the usurper.
