  Biography
  Probinus was the son of Petronius Probianus, a consul and praefectus urbi, and was from the gens Petronia, an influential patrician family that provided several high-ranking officers for the imperial administration between the 4th and 5th centuries AD. Probinus himself was consul in 341 and praefectus urbi of Rome from July 5, 345, to December 26, 346.
  
  His wife was, according to Drinkwater and Elton,[1] "Claudia"/"Clodia", a sister of Clodius Celsinus Adelphus,[2] who in turn was married to his sister Faltonia Betitia Proba, one of the most influential Roman Christian poets during Late Antiquity.[3]

   Note: Denarius issued by Publius Petronius Turpilianus, circa 19 or 18 BC. The obverse depicts Augustus, the reverse Pegasus. The gens Petronia was a plebeian family at ancient Rome. This gens claimed an ancient lineage, as a Petronius Sabinus is mentioned in the time of Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, the last of the Roman kings, but few Petronii are mentioned in the time of the Republic. They are frequently encountered under the Empire, holding numerous consulships, and eventually obtaining the Empire itself during the brief reign of Petronius Maximus in AD 455.[1] Origin The Petronii were of Sabine origin, as indicated by the surname Sabinus, belonging to the legendary figure from the time of Tarquin, and alluded to by coins minted by Publius Petronius Turpilianus, depicting the death of Tarpeia, whom according to legend was persuaded by the Sabines under Titus Tatius to open the citadel to them, in the time of Romulus.[2] The nomen Petronius appears to be a patronymic surname derived from the Oscan praenomen Petro or Petrus, the Oscan equivalent of the Latin Quartus, fourth, and making Petronius cognate with a number of obscure Latin gentilicia, such as Quartius and Quartinius.[3] An alternative derivation would be from the cognomen Petrus, a rustic, although this may also derive from the Oscan praenomen. Petronius belongs to a large class of gentilicia derived from other names ending in -o, most of which are plebeian.[4] Praenomina[edit] The early Petronii used the praenomina Gaius, Marcus, and Publius, all of which were very common throughout Roman history. Other names occur toward the end of the second century AD, including Quintus, Lucius, and Sextus, but these may have been inherited from other families. ...Petronius Probinus, consul in AD 341.[46] Sextus Claudius Petronius Probus, consul in AD 371.[47][48] Anicius Petronius Probus, consul in AD 406.[49] Saint Petronius, fifth century bishop of Bologna.

   Note: This source is an academic work which also cites historical records. The contained family tree record indicates that her name was Proba by virtue of being the daughter of Probus. She would almost certainly have "Proba" as part of her name. Probiana is implied because her son's name is Petronius Probianus-- the masculine of Probiana. Which would be a possible family name. It is also a name given in one of the family tree databases. It is also possible that her name was Probiana and not Proba, but there seem to be several genealogical databases that cite a daughter of Probus being Proba and not Probiana.
