was proc XX heredit in Syria-Palaestina, but prefers the reading proc XX heredit, proc Syria-Palaestina,so two separate procuratorships, with Palaestina first.

Petolescu, Constantin C.: "T. Flavius T.f. Priscus Gallonius Fronto Q. Marcius Turbo", in Dacia , vol.26, 1982, p.167-170, suggest that
 T. Flavius T.f. Priscus Gallonius Fronto Q. Marcius Turbo (F344) and C. Gallonius C.f. Fronto Q. Marcius Turbo (G50) are identical; very unlikely.

Piso, Ioan: "Der Prätorianerpräfekt Q. Marcius Turbo und seine Söhne", in ZPE Bd. 150 (2004), pp. 270-280, doubts that T. Flavius Longinus, the decurion
from Dacia, was the father of the two adoptive sons of the praetorian praefect, note different. He supports Syme's idea that they were real sons 
of the praetoran praefect adopted by one or two T. Flavii (possibly freedmen, because of tribus Palatina) and a C. Gallonius Fronto (an uncle ?). 
The motivation could be that the praetorian praefect was disgraced by Hadrian and his sons' future therefore uncertain.
Salomies: Nomenclature (1992) p.142 (§22 T. Flavius Longinus Q. Marcius Turbo, he observes that his order of names suggest the reverse of the
