[1] Since she is the oldest of the Antonias, this Antonia should be Antonia Major.  The mistake here is probably because historians were unaware of her existence.  This means that the daughters of Mark Antony and Octavia Minor should be called Antonia Minor and Antonia Tertia respectively.
[2] Some sources suggest that it is more likely that she is the oldest daughter of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa by his first wife, Caecilia Pomponia Attica.  However, this seems improbable considering that this daughter was named Vipsania Marcella Agrippina. 
[3] The existence of this son is recorded by the townsfolk of Puteoli, whose patron he was. Nothing else is known about him. He may have been identical with Asinius Saloninus or the foregoing Asinius Gallus. Since the Asinius Gallus seems to have been the Lucius Asinius Gallus who became a Consul in 60, by exclusion of parts the Gnaeus Asinius must be the Asinius Saloninus.
[4] It is uncertain whether this marriage actually existed.  If it is, then a son of hers is recovered from a dedication inscription in the basilica Aemilia.
[5] This will depend on whether Vipsania Marcella Agrippina’s marriage to Marcus Aemilius Lepidus actually existed.
[6] Historians often confuse the identity of the two Marcellae sisters.  For example, Tacitus mentioned that Marcus Valerius Messalla Appianus was Claudia Marcella Major’s husband and not her sister’s.  It is difficult to know the exact truth since much of the lives of the Marcellae sisters is unknown.
[7] The name of this son is uncertain.
[8] The existence of this daughter is postulated, but uncertain.
[9] Some sources suggest that he in fact married Quinctilia, sister of the ill-fated governor of Germany Publius Quinctilius Varus, and not Claudia Marcella Major.  The marriage is said to have produced two children; Sextus Appuleius and Appuleia Varilla.
[10] Some sources state that her mother was in fact Quinctilia, and that she also had a brother, Sextus Appuleius.
[11] Some sources suggest that he might instead be Claudia Marcella Major’s husband, though this is improbable.
[12] It is unclear how many children Claudia Marcella Minor had in her first marriage.  Some sources say she had only one son child by Marcus Valerius Messalla Appianus.
[13] His father who possesses the same name is the brother of the triumvir Marcus Aemilius Lepidus.
[14] Some sources suggest that they have a son named Paullus Aemilius Regillus.
[15] Some sources state that the sole child of Marcus Valerius Messalla Barbatus is Valeria Messalina and does not mention Marcus Valerius Messalla Corvinus.
[16] Some historians confuse her with her cousin, another Aemilia Lepida, who is the daughter of Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, brother of Lucius Aemilius Paullus.  This Aemilia Lepida is the wife of Drusus Caesar (brother of the Emperor Caligula).
[17] Some sources suggest that he is the son of Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, brother of Lucius Aemilius Paullus.  If this is the case then he would instead be the nephew of Lucius Aemilius Paullus (not his son) and the brother of another Aemilia Lepida, who is the wife of Drusus Caesar (brother of the Emperor Caligula).
