Gellius

This conclusion is based on information provided by Gellius, Aulus Gellius V 12. who states his name is formed by adding prefix ve (here denoting "deprivation" or "negation") to Iove (whose name Gellius posits as rooted in the verb iuvo "I benefit").

Antony and Gellius Publicola commanded the right wing of the Antonian fleet, while Marcus Octavius and Marcus Insteius commanded the center, with Cleopatra's squadron positioned behind them.

A variety of actions or pursuits which were thought to be injurious to public morality, might be forbidden by an edict, Gellius, xv.11.

Gellius concludes by stating that this god is one of those who receive sacrifices so as to persuade them to refrain from causing harm.
