Broughton: Also Rans (1991) p.29 (§21 T. Otacilius Crassus RE12 defeated for consulates for both 214 and 210 BC.)

Crook: Consilium Principis (1955) p.176 (§242 Otacilius Sagitta O175)

Hillebrand: Vigintivirat (2006) p.200-201 (§54 L. Otacilius Fabricius O174)

Klein: Sicilien und Sardinien (1878) p.13-14 (§3 T. Otacilius Crassus RE12 in Sicilia)

Mellor, Ronald: "A New Roman Military Diploma" in The J. Paul Getty Museum Journal, Vol. 6/7 (1978/1979), pp. 173-184 shows that the correct praenomen

of M. Otacilius Catulus cos suff 88 AD was Manius, not Marcus.

Münzer: Roman Aristocratic Parties (1920, 1999) p.70-80 on the Otacilii Crassi and their relationship with the Fabii and the Marcelli.

Ojeda Torres: El Servicio Administrativo (1993) p.177 (§56 C. Otacilius Octavius Saturninus O176)

Pinsent, John: "Cincius, Fabius, and the Otacilii", in Phoenix Vol. 18, 1964, p.18.-29, who I have followed. The RE assumes N.Otacilius was the brother of M'.Otaciilius.

The story of N. Otacilius' transmission of his praenomen to a grandson may be a myth since several Fabii prior to cos 247 were called Numerius.

Raepsaet-Charlier: PFOS (1987) stemma LXIX Iulii from Asia
