Hijmans 2024, pp. 1019–1020: "Support for the 25th of December as date of the Solar Games is sought in the enigmatic entry for that day in the Chronography of 354 ("N. Invicti c. m. XXX") and from the emperor Julian, who wrote early in 363 that he had celebrated a 'most magnificent agon' for Sol at the end of December right after the Saturnalia of the preceding year. ... But a closer look at Julian's hymn (Or. 4) shows that this is not the case ... Julian is clearly talking about two different celebrations of Sol. The first is an annual feast ... The second are the quadrennial games, which Julian qualifies as 'newish' ... Julian makes it quite clear that it was the 'old' festival of Sol, which he ascribes to Numa, that he had celebrated immediately after the end of the Saturnalia to coincide with the winter solstice."

Hijmans 2009, p. 570: "To explain the presence of Sol in a Christian mausoleum, scholars suggested that in this case he was not Sol, but Christ depicted in the guise of Sol as the New Light and the Sun of Justice. In the words of Lawrence: 'This is the Sun God, Sol Invictus, but also Christ the light of the world' ... Sol in mausoleum M has become the image of choice to illustrate the gradual ascendency of Christianity in the third century AD and in particular of its appropriation of Roman imagery for Christian purposes. ... While Perler, Wallraff, and others differ on details of the meaning of this Sol-Christ, all agree on the basic Christian interpretation and the identity of Sol as Christ".
