STA´BULA in Gallia, is placed by the Antonine Itin. vi. from Cambes ( Gros Kembs) and xviii. from Argentovaria ( Artzenheim). These distances bring us to a place between Otmarsheimand Bautzheim, where Rhenanus, quoted by D'Anville, says that traces of an old place are found.
The word Stabula meant a station or resting place for travellers, a kind of inn, as we see from a passage of Ulpian ( Dig. 47. tit. 5. s. 1): qui naves, cauponas, stabula exercent;and the men who kept these places were Stabularii.
