===Inscriptions=== Some inscriptions, such as those at [[Bordeaux]] {{CIL|13|00582}}, [[Corseul]] {{CIL|13|03143}}, the three from [[Ihn (Wallerfangen)|Ihn]] in [[Saarland]], Germany {{AE|1994|1256}}, {{AE|1994|1257}}, {{AE|1991|1248}}, [[Mainz]] {{CIL|13|06753}}, [[Mühlburg]] in [[Baden-Württemberg]] {{CIL|13|06327}} and [[Trier]] (CIL 13, 03662) are to the goddess Sirona alone, ''deae Đironae''. More usually, Sirona is paired with Apollo, as in this inscription from [[Graux, Belgium|Graux]] {{CIL|13|04661}} in the [[Vosges Mountains|Vosges mountains]]: :''Apollini et Si/ronae / Biturix Iulii f(ilius) / d(edit)'' or this inscription from [[Luxeuil-les-Bains]] in [[Franche-Comté]] {{CIL|13|05424}}: :''Apollini / et Sironae / idem / Taurus'' When paired with Sirona, Apollo is often assimilated with a [[Gaulish]] deity, such as Apollo [[Borvo]] or Apollo [[Grannus]]. An example from [[Sarmizegetusa (commune)|Sarmizegetusa]] in [[Dacia]] {{AE|1983|00828}}: :''Apollini / Granno et / Sironae / C(aius) Sempronius / Urbanus / proc(urator) Aug(usti)'' and another from [[Augsburg]] {{AE|1992|01304}} where Sirona is given the epithet ''sancta'' (holy) and is identified with Diana: :''Apollini / Granno / Dianae / [s]anct(a)e Siron(a)e / [p]ro sal(ute) sua / suorumq(ue) / omn(ium) / Iulia Matrona'' A dedication from [[Großbottwar]] in [[Baden-Württemberg]] {{CIL|13|06458}} can be precisely dated to the year 201 CE by mention of the [[List of late imperial Roman consuls|two consuls]], L. Annius Fabianus and M. Nonius Arrius Mucianus: :''In h(onorem) d(omus) d(ivinae) Apo[lli]ni et Sironae / aedem cum signis C(aius) Longinius / Speratus vet(eranus) leg(ionis) XXII Pr(imigeniae) P(iae) F(idelis) et Iunia Deva coniunx et Lon/gini Pacatus Martinula Hila/ritas Speratianus fili(i) in / suo posuerunt v(otum) s(olverunt) l(ibentes) l(aeti) m(erito) / Muciano et Fabiano co(n)s(ulibus)''
