Ave,
I start this new thread for all problems related to the Notitia Dignitatum. I don't know or another thread of the same type exists here ? In this case please feel free to just add my comment at the right place.
I'm focused on line 61.20 / Or XXXVII 32 / Or XXX §I B 8 of the Notitia and made research on the location ASABAIA which i've placed previously in Palæstinæ. I made wrong because all 61.12 to 61.23 section is related to Arabia province.
I've found on internet an article : Les garnisons romaines de la province d'Arabie In: Échos d'Orient, tome 2, N°3, 1898. pp. 89-95. by Siméon Vailhé (http://www.persee.fr/web/revues/home/pre...m_2_3_3196), who list all garrisons of the Arabian province.
Vailhé rely Asabia to Asabara (right orthograph ?) at the east of Hesbân more precisely at Khirbet ez Zebarat.
There is another reference talking about Castra Samaritanorum : https://books.google.fr/books?id=oQVm9Q_...um&f=false
but I can't rely the names cited in the article with those from the french article, but it seems to be localized in the same area...
another problem arise on lines :
63.10 Or XXXII 11 / Or XXXII 26 - Or XXXI k / Or XXXI §I A 9
59.26 Or XXXIV 43 / Or XXIX §I B 12
the first reference is dedicated to the Uiri spectabilis ducis Fœnicis (if no mistake from me)
the second line is dedicated to Uiri spectabilis ducis Palæstinæ
but the location is for the two units at Calamona which is Castra Samaritanorum. One must be wrong ! Two "duces" couldn't share one fortress where two differents units are stationed. For me the location is in Palæstina I so far...
Until I didn't find two different Calamona, I suppose that only one existed :whistle: . I'm I right ?, your comment are welcomed because I don't have any idea how to solve this apparent "contradiction"….
Thank you.
