On the confusions and falsifications in the tradition regarding the three Fabii, who were sent on this embassy and immediately afterward elected Military Tribunes for 390, see Münzer, RE no. 48, and col. 1750f. (Broughton MRR I)
Sent to deal with the Gauls when Clusium requested aid, but by their unneutral conduct provoked the Gauls to attack Rome (Liv. 5.35.4-36.10; Diod. 14.113.4-8; Dion. Hal. 13.12; Quintil. Inst. Or. 3.8.19; Plut. Cam. 17-18; Num. 12.6-9; Flor. 1.13.6; Dio fr. 25; Auct. Vir. Ill. 23; Oros. 2.19.5-6; Zon. 7.23). (Broughton MRR I)

On the names and authenticity of K. and Num. Fabius, see 391, note 2, and references cited there. Servilius Fidenas is identified by the adverb quartum in Livy. For Cornelius Livy has Servilius but the cognomen and the name Cornelius in Diod. impose the correction. The identification of Longus and Fabius in CIL 6.37161- ILS 9338,2 is probable but not certain, and makes the date of inauguration of the priest in question uncertain. See note 4. (Broughton MRR I)
