Fanoula Papazoglou (I think she's a she!) thinks it's a stone-cutting error. "One would expect to read at this point in the inscription a determinative such as veterana, miliaria, equitata." "Could it be a misreading, by a Greek stonecutter, of the sign for miliaria followed by two letters (EQ?)."
It certainly looks very odd to me. Given that the cohors I Hispanorum is also known in the province, it may be this cohort.
