What makes sense to me is: from vexillationes of the 3 mentioned legions and another vexillatio from 6 different auxilia cohorts. The latter led by centurio Malico. But now the inscription says nothing about the amount of soldiers led by this centurio. More than 6 guys, of course. 8)
Vexillationes collected from several auxilia were pretty usual. And there was propably not enough space to list the rather long names of all these 6 auxilia cohorts.
Or this centurio led all these vexillationes from different units grouped together for a certain task. We still don't know, how big every single vexillatio and the entire group was.
