In this context, the use of Alemanni is possibly an anachronism, but it reveals that Ammianus believed they were the same people, which is consistent with the location of the Alemanni of Caracalla's campaigns.
Selles kontekstis on alemannide kasutamine võimalik anakronism, kuid see näitab, et Ammianus uskus, et need olid sama rahvas, mis on kooskõlas alemannide asukohaga Caracalla kampaaniate ajal.
