(P. Iulius Scapula Tertullus cos 160/166; argues p.195-196 that he could not have been in Galatia 177/180, but could have been in Africa)
Barnes, T.D.: "Proconsuls of Asia under Caracalla" in Phoenix, Vol. 40, 1986, p. 202-205 discusses the year of office of the procos of Africa Scapula, normally 
assumed to be P. Iulius Scapula Tertullus Priscus cos 195, but could be C. Iulius (Scapula ?) Lepidus Tertullus cos suff 195/196.
Birley, A.R.: "Caecilius Capella: Persecutor of Christians, Defender of Byzantium", in Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, vol. 32, 1991, p.81-82 
discusses the new inscription on J554, which for tribus Arnensis (vs Sergia for his presumed uncle) points to an origin in Carthago.
 Tertullian's Scapula in ad Scapulam (procos Africa 212/213) may be J554 and not J557.

Fitz: Pannonien (1995) p.674-675 (§377 C. Iulius Lepidus Tertullus J554; he identifies the tr laticl with J554, but does not note that the tribus is different from J556)

Remy: Carrieres Senatoriales (1989) p.151-152 (§113 C. Iulius Scapula cos suff 139), p.269 (§220 C. Iulius Scapula J552, tr mil XII Ful)

Syme, Ronald: "Donatus and the Like", in Historia Band 27, 1978, p.593-594 (Roman Papers vol. III, p.1110) expresses doubt on the cognomina [D]onatus [Balbi?]nus
of J553. They derive from a lost inscription in Bithynia (IGR III-151) and may be a misreading of the Greek formulation of consul designatus.
Thomasson: Fasti Africani (1996) p.71 (P. Iulius Scapula Tertullus cos suff 163/164), p.83-84 (P. Iulius Scapula Tertullus Priscus cos 195),
