Pfaum, Carrieres p.708-12 identifies C, Gabinius Barbarus Pompeianus as = Gabinius Vindex Pompeianus, supported by Raepsaet-Charlier in FOS.
Eck in Realencyclopaedie and Birley (see article reference above) doubt this identification and believe C.Gabinius Barbarus to be the older brother of Q.Gabinius Barbarus.
If Q.Barbarus' governorship of Sardinia  is to be dated 209/211 then I see no reason why he could not be a younger brother of C.Barbarus rather than an uncle.
