Kommentar (Talbert):
-> stretch to Avitta
The start of this stretch is not marked.

The meaning of the second distance figure (X) placed at the end of this stretch is unclear. To judge by BAtlas 32 E4, it seems improbable that a name has dropped out which called for an extra stretch between Risca and Avitta (note that the lithograph in ItMiller 887 erroneously adds a chicane to the Risca stretch). It seems most likely that the distance figure X was originally placed a little higher, and was attached to a stretch (now omitted) linking either THVRRIS and Avitta, or Risca and Sicilibba. On the ground, the figure would not be accurate, but either route still seems possible in principle. I illustrate missing linework for the second alternative, but this choice is made purely in order to create an illustration. In either case, THVRRIS or Sicilibba would become a crossroads lacking a symbol

-> stretch to Sicilibba
The linework for this stretch is not marked.
See note under Risca-Avitta stretch.

Miller, Itineraria, Sp. 932:
Risca, statt Bisca, municipium (Iss: CIL VIII 12291. 12292. 12296. 12298. 12301 - hier gefunden); j Hr. Bischka. Iss: CIL III 12285-12314. 10; es soll hier 18 stehen.

Bisica, Stadt der Provinz Africa, mit dem Beinamen Lucana (CIL VI 1401. VIII 1357), 18 Millien von Avitta entfernt (Tab. Peut., wo Bisca oder Risca geschrieben ist), deren Bischöfe in späterer Zeit öfters erwähnt werden (s. CIL VIII p. 169). Die Ruinen heutzutage Henchir Bischḳa; die dort gefundenen Inschriften, die zeigen, dass der Ort im 2. Jhdt. n. Chr. Municipium war, s. CIL VIII Suppl. 12285ff.; später wurde es Colonie (VIII 1857). Früher hatte man B. irrtümlich mit Testur identificiert; vgl. Tissot Géographie comparée de l’Afrique II 333. [Dessau.]
