Foucart (Jour. des Savants 1906, 576) showed that the commander under whom Gabinius served was the famous orator, and not his less distinguished son, M. Antonius Creticus (see 74-71, Promagistrates). The title Proconsul points to 101 rather than 102 as the date (Broughton, TAPhA 77 [1946] 38f., notes 17-19; see below, Promagistrates, on Antonius). (Broughton MRR I)
Served under M. Antonius, when he was Proconsul, in the war against the Cilician pirates (IGRP 4.1116, from Rhodes; see 102, Praetors, and 101, Promagistrates). (Broughton MRR I)
