69.1ff. : in this chapter (but not 70) space consistently left between origin and destination (not marked by MHC 2023, pp. 112-114) 69.25: Same lack of price at Aezani. Presumably to be understood as the same as for the entry that follows (cf. 69.46 below). 69.46: MHC 2023, p. 112 creates two entries here (following Aezani here), though there is only one price on the stone (Plate 32): 45bis item a Byzantio Romam usque in k mo uno ( vac. ) (denarios) -?-] | 46 a Byza[ntio T]rapezunta usque ( vac. ) [in k] mo uno ( vac. ) (denarios) decem et octo. (Incidentally there is a missing opening square bracket before Romam in 45bis, which suggests misleadingly that this is extant on stone at Aphrodisias, which it is not.) It would make sense that the ordinator at Aphrodisias might have run the Byzantium-Rome and Byzantium-Trapezus entries together if the price, which is consistent with Byzantium-Rome in 70.D32, was the same for both.
