Commentary on the Toponym:

Kommentar (Talbert):
-> Stretch to Thamavdi
On this stretch the route swings abruptly upwards and crosses river #127. After skirting a mountain range of modest length (#127), it then heads back down, recrossing river #127 twice, and proceeding on a clumsy, compressed `vertical` course as far as Thelser.
River crossing: Fl. Tygris (river, no. 127)

Miller, Itineraria, Sp. 741:
Arcamo, Artamus (Ra — in Mesopotamien), Arxama in den persischen Kriegen öfters genannt (Proc);
j. nördlich von Maragure am Fluß Arzamon, j. Karin Su.
Abzweigung Strecke 111 nach Edessa.

Kommentar (RE):
Arxama, Stadt in Mesopotamien, zwischen Edessa und Nisibis (Ptol. V 18, 17); damit ist τὸ χωρίον Ἀρξάμων Procop. b. Pers. I 8. Theophyl. Simoc. (de Boor) I 15, 15. II 1, 5. 6. 5, 4 (ein Castell dieses Namens ebd. II 1, 7. III 5, 9) identisch; wahrscheinlich auch Arcamo Tab. Peut. Artamus Geogr. Rav. II 13. [Fraenkel. ]
