Jones, C.P.: "A New Commentary on the Letters of Pliny", in Phoenix, Vol. 22, 1968, pp. 124-125 discusses M42 as probably being a Metilius.
Stein: Thracia (1920) p.13-14 (Maec Nepos M43; name could also be Maecius and cognomen Nepotianus)
Syme, Ronald: "People in Pliny" in JRS vol. 58, 1968 p.138 (also in Roman Papers vol. II, p.699) agrees that Pliny's correspondant is a Metilius Nepos, 
not Maecilius Nepos.
