Notes:

The multiple names of several Gargilii makes it difficult to determine precise descent, i.e. gaining names through adoption or mother.

Note that the cognomen of Q. Gargilius Macer Aufidianus is now known to be Aufidianus, not Acidinus, as shown in older literature.

He was governor of Judaea some time after his consulate in 119.

Gambash, Gil and Yasur-Landau, Assaf: "Governor of Judea and Syria - A New Dedication from Dor to Gargilius Antiquus", in ZPE Band 205, 2018, p.158–164

inscription found in November 2016 underwater at Dor confirms that G78 was governor first of Judaea, then Syria.

Gera, Dov and Cotton, Hannah M.: "A Dedication from Dor to a Governor of Syria", in Israel Exploration Journal, Vol. 41, 1991, p.258-266

new inscription (AE1991-1576) gives M. Paccius P.f. Silvanus Q. Coredius Gallus Gargilius Antiquus as governor of Syria; his filiation of P.f. means

he cannot be the same man as the consular of 138 who is Q.f. Thus there are two separate consulars named Gargilius Antiquus.
