In a recent manuscript published in the Arxives (arXiv:1610.03049v1), it is claimed that it should be more appropriate to refer to the equation of hydrostatic equilibrium in a static spherically symmetric spacetime, supported by an isotropic perfect fluid, as the "Oppenheimer-Volkoff (OV) equation", instead of the "Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV)", as is frequently done. As we shall see in this brief note, such a claim is not supported by the existing bibliography.
