The filiation begins in the right place, with a Q between "Fabius" and "Aemiliani", but the inscriber started the doing "Aemiliani" before he realized he'd left out the remaining "F Q.N" of the filiation, so he just tacks it on after the cognomen. Oops.
LOL! Thanks for pointing that out. It made me laugh just imagining the string of profanity the inscriber must have let out when he realized his mistake. Way to piss off one of the most powerful families in Rome (and their friends)...
