A Thasartho Silesua milia passus XII

Biar bou Loufa (Barrington) · Hr. el Djerbi (Gasr el Haira). (Miller)

Athasartho Silesua milia passus, with the figure twelve after it, is another line of text written in capitals along this road: from Thasarte to Silesua, twelve thousand paces, the full Latin way of saying twelve Roman miles. Silesua, where the stretch ends, is placed at Biar bou Loufa. No ordinary distance figure stands on either side, so these words do the counting.
