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.

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.
