The [[Christian apologist]] [[Arnobius]], in his extended debunking of traditional Roman deities, connects Inuus and [[Pales]] as guardians over flocks and herds.<ref>[[Arnobius]], ''Adversus Nationes'' 3.23.</ref> The woodland god [[Silvanus (mythology)|Silvanus]] over time became identified with Faunus, and the unknown author of the ''[[Origo gentis romanae]]''<ref>At one time, [[Aurelius Victor]] was thought to be the author of the ''Origo gentis romanae''.</ref> notes that many sources said that Faunus was the same as Silvanus, the god Inuus, and even Pan.<ref>''[[Origo gentis romanae]]'' 4.6; Peter F. Dorcey, ''The Cult of Silvanus: A Study in Roman Folk Religion'' (Brill, 1992), p. 34.</ref> [[Isidore of Seville]] identifies the ''Inui'', plural, with Pan, incubi, and the Gallic [[Dusios]].<ref>[[Isidore of Seville]], ''[[Etymologiae]]'' 8.11.103: ''Pilosi, qui Graece Panitae, Latine Incubi appellantur, sive Inui ab ineundo passim cum animalibus. Unde et Incubi dicuntur ab incumbendo, hoc est stuprando. Saepe enim inprobi existunt etiam mulieribus, et earum peragunt concubitum: quos daemones Galli Dusios vocant, quia adsidue hanc peragunt immunditiam''; Katherine Nell MacFarlane, "Isidore of Seville on the Pagan Gods (''Origines'' VIII. 11)," ''Transactions of the American Philosophical Society'' 70 (1980), pp. 36–37.</ref>

[[Diomedes Grammaticus]] makes a surprising etymological association: he says that the son of the war goddess [[Bellona (goddess)|Bellona]], Greek [[Enyo]] (Ἐνυώ), given in the [[genitive case|genitive]] as Ἐνυοῦς (Enuous), is imagined by the poets as goat-foot Inuus, "because in the manner of a goat he surmounts the mountaintops and difficult passes of the hills."<ref>[[Diomedes Grammaticus]], ''Ars Grammatica'' 1.475–476; [[T.P. Wiseman]], "The Minucii and Their Monument," in ''Imperium sine fine: T. Robert S. Broughton and the Roman Republic'' (Franz Steiner, 1996), p. 69.</ref>
