Probably governor of Cilicia. His failure to help Antistius in Syria allowed Caecilius Bassus to be relieved by the Parthians (Cic. Att. 14.9.3, April 18, 44, with reports which had reached Balbus from Antistius). See Syme, Anat. Stud. Buckler 321-324; Sternkopf, Hermes 47 (1912) 331-333. (Broughton MRR II)
See 45, Promagistrates. Staius Murcus probably superseded him in Syria (see above; cf. Syme, Anatolian Stud. Buckler 321-324). See PIR 3.474, no. 625. (Broughton MRR II)

Cos. 33. A. new fragment of the decree on the calendar of Asia (OGIS 458) found by Frend in Apameia shows that the Volcacius Tullus of line 42 was the consul of 33, not his homonymous nephew, the friend of Propertius (A. H. M. Jones, CR 4, 1955, 244; cf. L. Robert, Bull. Epig. 1958, no. 466). Note that he was proconsul in Asia in 28-27 or 27-26. See Ehrenberg-Jones, no. 98; SEG 15, no. 454; and on the name, Syme, JRS 39, 1949, 18. See also Syme, JRS 45, 1955, 159?RP 1.267; K. M. T. Atkinson, Historia 7, 1958, 312-314.
