Notes: The consular Petronii of the 4th century AD may descend from either P302 or P321.
Articles Birley: Roman Government pp.50-52 on P.Petronius Turpilianus (P315).
Corbier: L'Aerarium p.283-289 (stemma p.286) on Petronius Mametinus P289, who she believes is identical to the cos of 182, but the inscription has now been dated to Hadrian.,
Remy: Carrieres Senatoriales p.30 (Petronius Niger - P294), p.142 (Q.Petronius Umber - P318), p.157-158 (L.Petronius Verus - P316), p.243-244 (P.Petronius Polianus - P296), 
p.254-55 (Petronius Faustinus - P280), p.289 (M.Petronius Umbrinus P320)
Settipani: Continuite Gentilice, p.338-340 proposes that L.Publilius Petronius Volusianus is the son, not of P313, but of L.Publilius Probatus, possibly grandson of Cn.Petronius Probatus P302.
However, this gives some very short generations, so I have not followed his suggestions.
