One sentence surviving from Dacica, in the Latin grammar work of Priscian, Шаблон:Lang,Шаблон:Sfn says: inde Berzobim, deinde Aizi processimus, meaning We then advanced to Berzobim, next to Aizi.[2] The phrase describes the initial itinerary march into Dacia by the Roman army
After the Roman conquest of Dacia, a castrum gets built at Aizis.
The place name Aizizi, located in the South West of Dacia has a root / radical containing the Bactrian "ait", Armenian "iz" 'snake' or better the Bactrian "azi" Armenian "ajts" 'goat'.[3] The Romanian historian and archaeologist Vasile Pârvan also gives the meaning 'goat'.Шаблон:Sfn
