Degrassi in Inscr. Ital. 13.3.68 opposes Mommsen's identification of Papus, the Dictator of this year, with Barbula of the Elogium, who is evidently a{152} brother of the Consul of 317 and 311, on the ground that Barbula appears to be a younger brother, and that he could have appeared in the missing portion of the Fasti between 292 and 285. See Degrassi 112. (Broughton MRR I)
He too failed to hold elections (Liv. 9.7.14; cf. Elog. 34 in CIL 1
, p. 200, and Inscr. Ital. 13.3.68; Degrassi 108, 416f.). (Broughton MRR I)
