Commentary

 
Nach Distanzangabe 8 Meilen vor Sofia aufgestellt; deshalb wohl kaum in situ gefunden. Der Meilenstein wurde in der Antike zwei Mal wiederverwendet: ursprüngliche Inschrift (a) griechisch; an ihrer Stelle dann später die lateinischen Inschriften (b und c). Datierung bezieht sich auf Inschrift a; Datierung b: 293-305 n. Chr.; Datierung c: 317-324 n. Chr.
