The text was first published by Pierre Pithou in 1590 among anonymous epitaphs, despite Senarius' name in line 2. Pithou edited Latin poems from manuscripts, inscriptions, and earlier printed editions, but gave no indication of provenances for individual poems. After his edition was typeset, but before publication, Pithou sought advice on this and other poems from the philologist François Juret, editor inter alia of Symmachus' Epistolae; unfortunately, Juret's extant reply sheds no light on the source of the epitaph. It is thus unclear whether, in the sixteenth century, the epitaph was preserved in the original inscription or in a syllogue. The latter, however, appears more likely; certainly, the epitaph does not appear in early collections of Latin inscriptions. It is therefore not possible to determine the locality of Senarius' tomb.
All later editions and citations appear to be derived from Pithou's.
