Notes:

Patrician after 29 BC.. Note a M. Aquila C.f. Iulianus (cos 38) (RE Aquila 9), who Syme conjectures might have been a Iulius Aquila, adpted by a M. Arruntius.

The Arrunti come fra Atina in tribus Teretina. Members of this family are attested in Patavium with same tribus. The relationship of the branches of Aquila and Stella is unknown.

Some internet consular lists put a L. Arr[un]tius Aemilianus and T. Flavius Bassus as coss ord in 259. I can find no evidence for this.

L. Arr[unt]ius (A1132) and T. Flavius Bassus seem rather to be suffects consuls in unknown year.

(M. Aquila C.f. Iulianus cos ord 38 (A982) could have been the son of a C. Iulius adopted by testament by a M. Arruntius Aquila)

Syme, Ronald: "The Paternity of Polyonymous Consuls", in ZPE Bd. 61, 1985, p. 198 (also Roman Papers V, p.646) again suggests that M. Aquila C.f. Iulianus cos ord 38

could have been the son of a C. Iulius adopted by testament by a M. Arruntius Aquila. The adopted C. Iulius might be a son of C. Iulius Aquila, praefect of Egypt J166)

Suggests it was L. Arruntius cos 6 who was married to an Aemilia and was father of Faustus and Paullus Arruntius.

But his explanation of why then adopt a Furius, when he has two sons, is not convincing.
