Abstract:

Cuneus equitum Arcadum şi classis [in] Plateypegiis par foarte probabil să fi reprezentat o parte din efectivele aduse din Egipt pentru întărirea capacităţii defensive a provinciei Scythia, conform programului theodosian descris de Zosimos. Termenul de classis Inplateypegiis din sectiunea Scythica a Notitiei Dignitatum implica o flotilă de plateypegia aptă de a naviga în apele puţin adânci ale Deltei Dunării si a dat naştere unui toponim ce denumea baza acestei flotile, aflată fie într–unul din ostroavele Deltei, fie chiar la gurile braţului Sfântu Gheorghe în forma pe care o avea la acea dată.
