The Antonine Itinerary attests to a station "Vopiscianis" (GeogRav "Bobiscianis") on the route from Tocolosida (modern Bled Takourart in Morocco) to Tingi (modern Tangier). Ptolemy's "Piskiana" would seem to reference the same feature or a nearby settlement associated with the road station. Various suggestions have been made by modern scholars for its identification with a suitable archaeological site or ruin in the area; the current communis opinio holds for Souq el Arbaâ du Gharb (see Souk el Arba).
