Road station

Dicat

Dicat lay ten Roman miles, about fifteen kilometres, from Zogorra, and twelve from the next stop, which is unnamed. It has been tentatively placed at Tell Ibra, and another reading of the name is Vicat. Older research compared it with Digba in Pliny and with a place that the geographer Ptolemy sets where the Tigris and the Euphrates meet.
