Quaternary sequences with optimal autocorrelation property are preferred in applications. Cyclotomic classes of order 4 are widely used in the constructions of quaternary sequences due to the convenience of defining a quaternary sequence with the cyclotomic classes of order 4 as its support set. Recently, several classes of optimal quaternary sequences of period 2p, which are all closely related to the cyclotomic classes of order 4 with respect to Zp were introduced in the literature. However, less attention has been paid to the equivalence between these known results. In this paper, we introduce the unified form of this kind of quaternary sequences to classify these known results and then conclude the unified forms of these optimal quaternary sequences. By doing this, we disclose the relationship between the optimal quaternary sequences derived from different methods in the literature on one hand. And on the other hand, when the new obtained optimal quaternary sequence period is 2p and the cyclotomic classes of order 4 are involved, the methods and the results given in this paper can be used to identify if the sequence is new or not.
