Schmitt, Tassilo: "Die Marci Pomponii Mathones. Eine quellen- und sachkritische Analyse der †berlieferung", in Göttinger Forum für Altertumswissenschaft, 3, 2000, p.83-110
His analysis, (which does not convince me), makes the mag eq of 217 an annalistic fiction, assigns the pontifex and 211 death to RE20. makes the cos 231 both augur and X vir sf.
and finally points out (which is true) that there is no evidence that Pomponia (RE28) was the sister of RE17 and RE18, though it seems to me extremely likely.
Settipani: Continuite p.253-259 (Pomponii Bassi) proposes that Torquata, the wife of L.Pomponius Bassus cos 118, was not the dt of L.Nonius, but dt of a L.Volusius Saturninus and Licinia Cornelia4 Volusia Torquata.(and she
a possible dt of (M.Licinius) Scribonianus Camerinus, thus explaining the cognomen of their son Pomponius Scribonianus and making C.Pomponius Camerinus cos 138 another son.
