Demougin (Prosopographie pp.707-80) agrees and suggests that the two Glabriones are cousins and not father and son.
Settipani: Continuite (2000) p.181 (makes Atilia Sabina FOS121 the sister of T.Atilius Sabinus q 69, not the daughter as in FOS), p.472-477 and 484 (family of M.Atilius Metilius Bradua cos 108)

IRT = J. M. Reynolds et J. B. Ward Perkins, The Inscriptions of Roman Tripolitania, 1952. Vita-Evrard's article has made prior theories on who this person was obsolete (primarily that he was C785, the cos of 185.
Also M.Appius Atilius Bradua (A1298 RE Appius 5; pontifex and sodalis Hadrianalis) is probably the same person as  M.Atilius Metilius Bradua cos 108 and is therefore removed from the stemma.
