I've just noticed that the Valentinianic fort at Boppard on the Rhine is almost exactly the same size (4.7 hectares) as Udrah and Lejjun!
With the camp at Palmyra also a close match, might this have been the standard size for a late legion fortress? It would appear about right to accommodate c.1200 men.
