Resumen

El propósito del presente trabajo es dar a conocer, editar y contextualizar una nueva inscripción latina procedente de Gharandal (la antigua Arindela de la provincia romana de Arabia Petraea, en la actual provincia jordana de al-Tafilah). La pieza, probablemente del siglo II d. C., es la lápida funeraria de un tal Sprato, un desconocido soldado de una cohors Ulp(ia) mil(iaria), que no resulta fácil de identificar con el resto de las cohortes Ulpiae que conocemos a través de los testimonios epigráficos. El interés de la inscripción no sólo se debe a que amplía el breve catálogo de la epigrafía latina de la zona, sino sobre todo al hecho de que contribuye a aumentar nuestro conocimiento de la ocupación militar romana de la zona en la primera mitad del siglo II d. C.
