One sentence surviving from Dacica, in the Latin grammar work of Priscian, Institutiones grammaticae, says: inde Berzobim, deinde Aizi processimus, meaning We then advanced to Berzobim, next to Aizi. The phrase describes the initial itinerary march into Dacia by the Roman army. After the Roman conquest of Dacia, the Aizis fort was built there.
It is also depicted in the Tabula Peutingeriana, as Azizis, on a Roman road network, between Bersovia and Caput Bubali.
