Notes:

family from Sabine country. The precise relationship between the several T.Prifernii is not known. Thus did the cos suff of 96 really adopt 2 sons from different families ?

And why did the cos suff of 125 adopt a son (his nephew), when he already had a son?

Several family members were patrons of an ordo corporatorum at Ostia.
