The cohort is also named in a diploma of Moesia superior of 100 (CIL XVI 46). 2. The date has been restored by a comparison with CIL XVI 44 and 45. 3. Q. Fabius Barbarus and A. Caecilius Faustinus suffect consuls. For Barbarus see PIR 111~96 n0.23~ cf. W. Eck PWRE Supp. 14 (1974) col. 117 (59a). For Faustinus see PIR 11~7 no. 43. 4. Bonio is probably a Celtic name; cf. A. Holder AZt-celtischer Sprachschatz I (Leipzig 1896) col. 479. W. Schulze lists Veranus among Latin names with a probable Etruscan origin, Zur Geschichte Zateinischer Eigenmen (Berlin 1904) 379; cf. I. Kajanto The Latin Cognomina (Helsinki 1965) 108 bis and 253, who also lists Bonio as a Latin cognomen (275) but admits that the distinction between Latin and Celtic derived names is often very fine, 16 ff. Professor G. Alfgldy informs me that Bonio is found in (CIL 111 5354) and Boniatus is very common there; he also observes that Veranus is attested in the same province on at least six occasions. If he was recruited locally, Bonio should have originated in Pannonia; see n.1 supra.

Wright suggests the date is likely to be 13 Mai.105, like CTL XVI 50 and perhaps 51, which carry the names of the same consuls. 3. C. Iulius (Quadratus) Bassus and Cn. Afranius Dexter suffect consuls. For Bassus see PIR IV2260-261 no. 508. For Dexter see PIR I274 no. 442. Q. Caelius Honoratus had replaced Dexter by 16 Iul. 105; cf. PIR 1~~261concerning Bassus. 4. Ala CZassiana c. R. (CIL XVI 51); GaZZom et Thranmr CZassiana c. R. (CIL XVI 69). 5. E. Birley suggests as nornen Anicius or Minicius, or with less likelihood Vinicius. 6. ... .o Ramni f. Perhaps a German name like Ramio in RIB 2063. Cf . A. Holder AZt-cezt. Sprach. I1 (1904) col. 1072. This is an interesting possibility as both K. Kraft and E. Stein believed the aZa to have been stationed in perhaps as late as the Flavian period and before its arrival in Britain (Zur Rekrutierung der AZen und Kohorten an Rhein und Dm (Berne 1951) 148nn.300 and 301; Die kaiserlichen Beamten und WppenkLhper irn rtfmischen Deutschland unter dem Mnzipat (Vienna 1932) 127). For a contrary opinion see G. Alfgldy Die HiZfstruppen in der rtJmischen Provinz Cenania inferior(Diisse1dorf 1968) 17-19 no. 6. 7. Amabilis and Firmus are both Latin cognomina; see I.Kajanto The Latin Cognomina (Helsinki 1965) 282 and 258. 8. The names of the witnesses have been restored by comparison with CIL XVI 50; cf. now t9. Drawing by F. H. Thompson JRS 50 239. Text Ann. zp. 1962 no. 253, but GREGALIS is wrongly restored line 9.

Pflaum (op. cit. 356) suggests that cohortes I Augusta Lusitanorum and 11 Thranrm of Iudaea (CIL XVI 33) were exchanged for cohortes I Hispanorwn and 1 Thebaeom and that the latter pair may have taken part in the annexation of Arabia in 106; following this they may have formed part of the garrison of the new province since they do not appear on the lists of Syria Palaestina in 139

The restoration VRI (1. 1 intus) was suggested by H. U. Nuber Bayerische Vorgeschichtsbltitter 39 (1974) 181 ff. The expansion of 11. 1-3 (intus) is also Nuber's suggestion (op. cit.). For A. Caecilius Faustinus see PIR 11' 7 no. 43 and Nuber (op. cit. 184 and note 19). In 99 Faustinus was suffect consul (see t7 and CIL XVI 44 and 45) and from 10314 until 105 governor of Moesia inferior.
