Name
Candidiana, wie CIL und da zumindest eindeutig ein Nominativ; zudem entsprechend der Entstehungszeit des Steins.
---
Fundstelle:
Velkov: sulla strada che corre lungo il limes danubiano… Le rovine del castello si trovano a 5km dall'attuale cittadina Malak Presslavez, corcondario di Silistra … situata in buona posizione strategica. => Entfernungsangabe und strategische Situation könnten zur Anhöhe östlich des Sumpfes passen.
Dagegen ist der Ort nach CIL nicht direkt an der Donau.
Die (verschiedenen) Angaben für Nigrinianis und Candidiana bei guide-bulgaria (s.u.) helfen auch nicht weiter
