Magn. ep. iii. 17: domum... regione quarta, iuxta locum qui appellatur Gallinas albas), on the western part of the Viminal, in the neighbourhood of S. Lorenzo in Panisperna. The name was preserved by the church of S. Sixtus in Gallina Alba (Jord. ii. 122, 319; ASRSP 1886, 436; RhM I894, 417; HIJ xxiii, 374; HCh 471.
