Jones, C.P.: "A New Commentary on the Letters of Pliny", in Phoenix, Vol. 22, 1968, pp. 124-125 discusses M42 as probably being a Metilius.

Syme, Ronald: "People in Pliny" in JRS vol. 58, 1968 p.138 (also in Roman Papers vol. II, p.699) agrees that Pliny's correspondant is a Metilius Nepos,

not Maecilius Nepos.
