I'm confused too..

When using "Octavian" you are referring to "Octavianus"right? Not "Octavius"...

Do the ancients text still around use the name "Octavianus"? I assume this was the original query? Or was the query regarding "Octavius"?

Did Cicero use the name "Octavianus" or "Octavius" or both? He wrote about him both before and after his adoption right?
It seems a bit odd to me to suggest that the -anus addition was a modern addition, I mean either this form is used in the sources or not, no?
Cheers,
Jesper
