[Kommentar (BH):
Welser liest "PONTVS EVXINVS"]

Kommentar (Talbert):
The letters of PONTVS are very widely separated, those of EVXIN+[.] less so, especially towards the end. "IN" is best seen on the 1888 photograph, and what may be one stroke of "V" after it above the Zacoria stretch (9A1) on the 1976 photograph. I am unable to identify the final "S".
Since the letters of the name come to be less widely separated, overall they do not continue to the end of the open water named. In fact the righthand end is kept clear to accommodate a further name, [..]NTVS POLEMONI[…]S (9A2), which seems to signify a land region; see note under its entry.
The name itself begins immediately to the right of the straits separating Europe and Asia. On the European side, the open water of the Black Sea is named separately S[.]NVS [.]VSI[ - ? - ]S (7A5-8A1). This name, however, only begins by the Danube mouths; further left, the open water is occupied by other names.


Miller, Itineraria, Sp. 954:
Pontvs. Evxinvs (sehr groß geschrieben, das letzte vs verletzt), it. (Ml, Pl, Tac, Am, St, Pt etc.), bis zum 7. Jahrhundert v.Chr. Πότος Ἄξενος (St, Ml, Pl etc.) genannt; beschrieben von St, Pl, Proc; Euxinus Pontus (Hi 1. 2, Eb), Mare Eusinum (Mt, Lb, Or, Is, Be), Mare Pontum (Ho), Pontus (Hi 1. 2, Lb), Pontum (Alibi), Ponticum Mare (Hf, Eb), Golfus Ponticus (Ra); j. das Schwarze Meer.

[T.W.] Heute ist nur noch "PONTVS EVXINV[.]" lesbar. Bei Scheyb und Welser findet sich "Pontus Euxinus". Diese Schreibweise ist auch in antiken Quellen belegt (Cic. de orat. 1,174; Lucan 9,960).
