Earliest AE for AI

On pg. 103 I say that the earliest example of the spelling AE for what previously had been written AI is found on the SCdB (186 BCE), but a slightly earlier example is found on a pedestal set up by M. Fulvius Nobilior, the consul of 189 BCE, and found at Tusculum (ILLRP 322 = CIL I2.616))
