Road station
unnamed / illegible, no. 57
This unnamed stop belongs to a puzzle beside Melcati: a distance figure of twenty-four Roman miles stands on the map with no road line drawn to it and no sign of where the stretch begins. One reading takes it as the distance on towards Alexandria, to Chereu or to the city itself; another wonders whether it counts a journey by river. Either way, the road line resumes only at Melcati.
