Commentary

One of three milestones of Philip on this road: M.195, M.197, M.201, with probably M.160.

For the remainder of the text cf. the milestone of Philip I at the tenth mile, M.201.

Line 3: The addition of the title Augustus lengthens the line surprisingly, as in M.201, but seems necessary.
