56.107: ducentis [quinquaginta], MHC 2023, p. 86; [---] ducentis q[u---], JMR in ALA1989, 231, p. 316, unallocated xvi. Beginning of Q visible in photo 1972.N.32 56.110: [qu]ing v en[tis], MHC 2023, p. 88 but the vacat is really just a slightly wider gap between letters to avoid a very small existing patch of damage – hardly worth signalling? Cf. 56.114, where MHC does not signal the similar case of quinge v ntis. 56.112: [telam una]m [( vac. ) x m]ille, MHC 2023, p. 88 ; [---]M ( vac.) X[---]ILLE, lapides 70.100 (photo 72.O.16) + PTW89.122 (photo 89.F.04) 56.128-132: imprecisely reported by JMR ALA1989, 231, p. 291, ch. XXVI.vii, 130-134 and MHC 2023, p. 88. Lapides 1970.274 (+ PTSW.89 F.19 for end of l. 128). It is only on entry 56.130 that there is absolute consensus. 56.128: MILIBVS QVI, lapides (photos 1972.K.18A + 1991.B.17) ; [duobus] milibus q[uingentis], JMR ; [duobus] milibus qu[ingentis], MHC. 56.129 : S MILIBVS DVCE, lapis (photo 1972.K.18A) ; [duobu]s milibus duce[ntis quinquaginta], JMR ; [duobus] milibus duce[ntis quinquaginta], MHC. 56.131 : VINGENTIS, lapis (photo 1972.K.18A) ; [mille] quingentis [quinquaginta], JMR ; [mille] septingentis [quinquaginta] (sic), MHC. Cf. Aezani MDCCL. Presumably Aphrodisias was following an archetype that read MDL, a price that seems only to occur otherwise once (at 49.57). 56.132: NTISQ, lapis (photo 1972.K.18A) ; [mille duc]entis q[uinquaginta], JMR ; [mille duc]entis [quinquaginta], MHC.
