Commentary on the Toponym:

Kommentar (Talbert):
The first occurrence of the name on the stretch is damaged, but it can be confidently restored from its recurrence on this stretch and on the previous one.
-> stretch to Adaqvas
Distance is given as: "A SILESVA AD AQVAS MIL XIX" (all this lettering well spaced).
-> stretch to Avibvs
Distance is given as: "A SILESVA AVIBVS MILIA XVIII". All this lettering is well spaced. Note the wide gap between the "M" and first "I" of MILIA, intended to avoid the symbol immediately above. The stretch extends in total to approx. 14 ins. (35.5 cm); its lower branch measures approx. 12.75 ins. (32.5 cm).
