[1507]
C. Sossius C. f. Pol. Pompeiop(oli), which is mentioned here in Col. I v.13, returns to all probability in the inscription CIL III 6591 as C. Sossius optio in leg. III. These inscriptions from Koptos prove that the Egyptian army was already reduced to two legions. Because the third legion was probably withdrawn and transferred to Syria during the reign of Augustus (see also 1236),  the time of this work set at the first half of the reign of Tiberius or the last years of Augustus. Leg. III Cyrenaica was probably at that time already transferred to Alexandreia and united with leg. XXII Deiot. at the camp at Nikopolis. This was certainly the case some time later when the soldier C. Sossius from a vexillation of Koptos, in the mean time promoted to optio, erected a tombstone in the camp at Nikopolis for a deceased comrade (CIL III 6591). The union of both legions in their joint camp seems to have been implemented in the first years of the reign of Caligula and many think that also was the case many years before that.
The legion stayed at this camp at Alexandreia until their removal from Egypt during Hadrian. This double camp is specifically mentioned in a papyrus script that forms at the same time the youngest evidence of the legions’ stay in Egypt, (has been dated at AD 119 by the lecture of Wilkens Herm. XXXVII 84ff): “ὲν τη̃ παρεμβολη̃ τη̃ς χειμασίας λεγιω̃νος τρίτης Κυρηναιχη̃ς χαὶ λεγιω̃νος β’ χαὶεὶχοστη̃ς Δηιοτεριανη̃ς, πρίδιε νόνας Αὺγούστας ….. ὲν πρινχεπίοις” (="In the barracks of the winter-quarters of the Third Legion Cyrenaica and the {Twenty-Second} Deioteriana, on the day before the Nones of August (=12th August)... in the principia") (BGU I 140). Two columns with lists of soldiers from III Cyr. and XXII Deiot. have been found on a papyrus scroll in the Rainer collection. These soldiers must come from the time of Trajan or early Hadrian because several of the soldiers carry the gentile Ulpius (‘Upis’) (Wessely Schrifttafeln zur ält. Lat. Paläographie, Vienna 1898 nr.8).
Tombstones of or for legionnaires have also been erected at this camp. CIL III 6591 and 6607 probably from the time of Tiberius or Caligula; 6602, 141383, 141385 from the time of Nero or the Flavian period; CIL III 6603 traceable to the year 101/ 2 (see Ritterling Rh. Mus. LVIII 176f) and somewhat later or earlier as the same Centurio Iulius Saturninus returns (CIL III 6599).
A monument (CIL III 6024) from the year 47/ 48, which was erected by the garrison of Alexandreia, has been found outside the camp in Aqfahas in Lower-Egypt. It probably concerns an official inscription of a large scale traffic- or culture concerning activity, carried out by both legions, in which the emperor himself appears as the initiator in the nominative.
The centurions and troops of the legion, whose traces have been found dispersed across the country, where probably all officially posted, without exception. They usually appear as the leader or kinsman of a detachment which was active in the numerous quarries in Lower-Egypt. For example in Caenopolis on the Nile C. Papirius Aequos (CIL III 6628) endowed by testament a statue of Vespesian and his son in Rome as a centurion of leg. III Aug. in the year 72 (CIL VI 932).

[1508]
Therefore his position in leg. III Cyrenaica must have been earlier, probably in the time of Nero. The centurion L. Tanicius Verus from Vienna was in charge at Thebes. He visited the Memnon-columns in the period November until June in the year and left his mark on them (CIL III 34). In the quarries of Djebel et Taër at Teneh, the centurion T. Egnatius Tiberianus had material broken up in the second year of Domitian (= 82/ 83) in order to pave the roads of Alexandreia (Cagnat IGR I 1138). The centurion C. Iulius Magnus under praef. montis beren(icidis) L. Antistius Asiaticus, who probably was tribune of his legion at the same time, commanded a detachment of workers in the second half of the reign of Domitian (CIL III 13580). When the centurion Claudius Iulianus erected the monument Cagnat IGR I 1153 for Zeus Helios at Ptolemais Hermiu, remains a question. A mixed detachment from both Alexandrian legions fulfilled their service in the castle of Talmis during Traian: their soldiers honored the local god Mandulis in the year 104/ 5. A lonely tombstone for a soldier has been found outside the camp at Girgeh in Upper-Egypt.
On papyrusscrolls appear several belonging to the legion: 1 July of the year 42 a centurion “Σεβανδος Λιβύρσιος” (= Sebandos Libursios) (or = Libursius Servandus) (BGU III 802, Col. XII v.11, Col. XIV v.23f); in the third year of Nero a soldier whose legion is named “λεγ(ιών) τρίτη Κλαυδία” (= leg. III Claudia) by mistake (Bull. De l’Inst. égypt. 1896 p.122); a soldier T. Flavius Clemens in the year 77 “στρατιώτης λεγ. III” (=miles of leg. III) (Oxyr. Pap. II 376); and in the year 95 M. Sempronius Gemellus appears as the arranger of a sum of money for a “στρατιώτης λεγιώνος τρίτης Κυρηναιχη̃ς χεντυρίας Πομπωνίου Σεουήρον….”(= "miles of leg. III Cyrenaica of the century of Pomponius Severus") (Cat. Greek. Papyri Brit. Mus. II 203 nr. 142 v.4 and v.20).
The activity of leg. III Cyrenaica outside their province of Egypt is mentioned in our history and in monuments only sparsely. A centurion from the legion, Q. Cattus Libo Nepos, gave a number of weapons to the local god Vihansa at Tongern in Belgica for which he made an inscription (CIL XIII 3592). In this unusual case, the gentile name here is the same as the centurion Cattus of the same legion in the inscription at Koptos (CIL III 6627 Col. I v.4). Thus, such a donation of weapons must have taken place during the early empire, the reign of Tiberius or shortly thereafter. Also, it is probably not without meaning that an officer from the distant country of Egypt was sent to the Lower-Rhine in a military disposition. Is it possible that a vexillum of III Cyrenaica took part in the German-Brittan expedition of Caligula in the year 39/ 40?

[1509]
By this, the idea of an immense military preparation, created by the words of history (Suet. Calig.43 “legionibus et auxiliis undique excites…”; Galb.6 “inter innumeras contractasque ex omnibus provinciis copias” with which the by Galba organized Upper-Rhine army distinguishes itself), really comes to life. Also T. Laelius T. F. Severus/ leg. III Cyr. (CIL III 2038), found in on a monument in Salonae which comes from the first century (certainly not from the time of the Marcomannic wars, as Meyer Heerwesen 162 suspects), could be sent to Illyria though this military disposition.
For the Armenian-Parthian wars during Nero, besides other reinforcements, a vexilla delectorum ex Illyrico et Aegypto was placed at the disposal of Corbulo (Tac. Ann. XV 26). Troops of III Cyrenaica could be found in the latter part.
After the legion, along with leg. XXII, had bloody put down the Jewish rebellion in Alexandreia (Joseph. Bell. Iud. II 18, 8) and supported the Vespasian claim to the throne by means of their Praefectus Aegypti Iulius Alexander on 1 July 69 (Suet. Vesp.6; Tact. Hist. II 79), she must have sent a vexillatio milliaria under the command of their praefectus exercitus to the army of Titus in Iudaea (Tac. Hist. V 1; Joseph. Bell. Iud. V 1, 6. 4, 3). That a second detachment of equal strength was among the army of Mucianus which left for Europe (as Pfitzner 228 suggests), is not recorded, nor even probable. Against all expectations, the Egyptian vexillation showed a lot of courage at the siege of Jerusalem. It is highly unlikely that an officer, [Ti. Claudius?] Quir(ina) Hera, who served as a trib. militum in successively leg. XII Fulm. and III Cyrenaica, received his military decorations with the conquest of Jerusalem by Titus (see Meyer Heerwesen 152, 537). The inscription firstly belongs to the second century and secondly, the Σεβαστοί, who gave the dona, refers to Marcus and Verus.
About 40 years later, the legion sent another vexillatio to Judaea to again put down a Jewish rebellion (CIL III 13587, about the year 116). After that, she also took part in the Parthian war of Trajan at which C. Nummius Constans got his decoration not as a centurion of III Cyrenaica, but during his service in the Praetorium (CIL X 3733). It is certain that the legion sent this vexillatio from its camp at Alexandreia and not from Arabia as Trommsdorff Quastiones duae 19 thinks.
When leg. III Cyrenaica left her camp at Alexandreia and Egypt for good, is not known for certain. The previously accepted view that the legion was transferred to the province Arabia in the year 106 or 108 (see Meyer Heerwesen 160f),  

[1510]
now appears to be invalid with the dating of the papyrus-document (BGU I nr. 140), which mentions the camp of the III and XXII legion in Alexandreia, to August of the year 119 (Herm. XXXVII 84ff). As II Traiana is in Egypt in February of the year 128 (see S.1489, 35ff), III Cyrenaica must have left between the years 120 and 127. A year after 127 is out of the question because of the senator Q. Voconius Saxa Fidus (consul in the year 149 or 150) as he was a military tribune at the least in the second half of his twenty-year career (Cagnat IGR III 763). He could not have been laticlavius in leg. III Cyrenaica when it still was commanded by a equestrian praefectus in Egypt. The command of the senator Ti. Claudius Quartinus in the year 119 (CIL II 2959) are perhaps in contiguity with large military displacements. After his position of iuridicus Hispaniae Citerioris, he became “iussu imp. Hadriani Aug. [pr]ae [posito? Legionum II Trai.] fortis et III Cyre[naicae….]” (CIL XIII 1802, discussed by von Trommsdorff Quaestion. Duae 35-39; see also at II Trai. S.1486, 50ff). The purpose and location of this command was certain not more applicable in the next period. Without any doubt there was a certain reason for the unification of more then one legion under the command of a senator from the praetorian class.
Whether III Cyrenaica was immediately transferred to Arabia as a lasting occupation after these operations, which could have occurred in any part of the Orient, remains a question.
Perhaps she firstly replaced one of the Syrian legions (VI Ferrata or III Gallica), which were used as a garrison of Arabia, and then was transferred, during or after the Jewish war of Hadrian, to Bostra whose garrison otherwise was claimed.
It is also uncertain whether III Cyrenaica or III Gallica was the legion which received significant reinforcements from III Augusta in the year 126 (speech from Hadrian CIL VIII 2552 A b; see also S.1500, 20ff). Her previous change of quarters from Egypt to Syria could be a reason.
Her presence in Arabia is explicitly attested, apart from the not exactly dated note from Ptolem. V 16, 4 “Βόστρα, λεγιὼν (γ’ Κυρηναιχή)” (= Bostra, leg. Cyrenaica)). The legion appears in the cod. Vatican. (see Kubitschek Jahrb. Für Altertkde. VI 1913, 206f) by means of inscriptions firstly during Marcus Aurelius in the year 162 (CIL III 96, VIII 7050). Her camp at Bostra, which she keeps until the time of the Notitio (or. XXXVII 21) is mentioned in a number of inscriptions, of which the most part is in Latin. CIL III 100 add. P.969 (LEG III C), which is mentioned in a lot of books, could be derived from a building inscription.

[1511]
Centurions or the entire optiones have honoured several governors: CIL III 96, dedicated by P. Iulius Geminius Marcianus, can’t be dated to any extent; CIL III 92 for Q. Antistius Adventus in 166; III 95 from the time of Severus; III 94 add. p.969 from the time of Severus Alexander; III 89 between 253 and 259. CIL III 97 and 141494 are official dedications of primipili of the legion. A simple “στρατ(ιώτης)” erects an “θεοι̃ς πατρώοις” monument (Cagnat IGR III 1331). Several inscriptions on tombstones can’t be dated exactly: III 163 the slave from a legions’ centurion Cornelius Egrilianus, probably from the time of Commodus; CIL III 101 a beneficiarius tribuni semen(stris); III 102 and Cagnat IGR III 1327 a centurion; CIL III 104 and Année épigr. 1904 nr. 69, Cagnat IGR III 1329, 1330 from soldiers.
The numerous places outside of Bostras, at which inscriptions from people belonging to the legion have been found, were only occupied for a small part by small detachments such as border patrols or troops which were sent out on another temporarily basis. Probably this is the case at Nemârâ CIL III 111, 112, Cagnat IGR III 1257 (1258?); at Gerasa, which already belonged to the province Arabia during (Antoninus) Pius and were the tombstone CIL III 13603 = 14156 from a legionnaire has been found; the same at Philadelphia (Année épigr. 1908 nr.258 = 1905 nr.214); at Kanatha in Batanaea CIL III 121 add. And Cagnat III 1239 both from the time of Caracalla; in Medaba a centurion Cagnat III 1380, Soada Cagnat III 1282; and Heban in Haurân Cagnat III 1297 and CIL III 13604 whose inscriptions von Meyer Heerwesen 164 incorrectly placed in the fourth century. At other places, tombstones of soldiers or veterans don’t tell us why they were stationed there. In most cases they lived at there: Cagnat IGR III 1135, 1141, 1167, 1169, 1173, 1193, 1265, 1301, 1306, 1311, CIL III 125.
Only a small number of noteworthy details about the history of the legion during their stay in Arabia are known until today. As with previous times, the legion took part in the bellum iudaicum during Hadrian; a trib. laticlavius, C. Popilius Pedo, received from the emperor the dona militaria (CIL XIV 3610) and C. Nummius Constans was brave enough to be “centurio leg. III Cyreneica ab imp. Hadriano corona aurea torquibus armillis phaleris ob bellum iudeicum”. Whether the tombstone of a soldier of III Cyrenaica (CIL VIII 5978 = 19108), which was found near Cirta, belonged to a detachment which was sent to Africa during the Maurentanien war of Antoninus Pius (Henzen Ann. Dell’ Instit. 1860, 54), is really questionable (see Cagnat L’armée rom. d’Afrique 2 115). Inscriptions of other detachments, whose participation in this war has been proven, have all been found in the Western part of both Mauretanian provinces (see Abschn. A. o. S.1295).

[1512]
The legion certainly took part in the Parthian war of Lucius Verus. If she is the leg. III, which is used in direct relation with the name of the most famous commander of this war, Avidius Cassius (see Abschn. A. o. S.1299), who as governor of Arabia certainly would have commanded them (see Westd. Korr.-Bl. 1909, 36), then the legion must have played an excellent part in the war (see also the speech of Marcus Aurelius: “’Αραβιχὸς πόλεμος….” (= Arabian war) (Cass. Dio LXXI 25, 2); different in Premerstein Klio XIII 78ff). The theory of Meyer Heerwesen 162 who concludes from two inscriptions in Salonae, one form a centurion of the legion (CIL III 2038, probably from the first century) and a (centurion) frumentarius (CIL III 2063), that during the Marcomanii-wars the legion was replaced with a vexillation with troops from the East and which was concentrated in Salonae, can’t be proven (see Premerstein Klio XIII 71f and 92). Both the stones III 2038 and 2063, even if the originate from the same period, which regarding to the first stone is difficult to attest, prove little regarding to the presence of a detachment of the legion in Salonae. The conclusion of v. Domaszewski N. Heidelb. Jahrb. V 1895, 129 that the “v[exilationes] per Dalm(atiam) …. et Raet(iam) et Noric(um)” (CIL XIV 289*c which comes from the same period), was composed of troops from the East, can’t also be proven.
The conclusion of Meyer Heerwesen 162 and Premerstein Klio XIII 77 that III Cyrenaica did NOT join the revolt of Avidius Cassius in the spring of 175 is in contradiction to Dio LXXI 23, 2 who states that “τὰ ὲντὸς του̃ Ταύρουπάντα διὰ βραχέος” supported the case of Avidius. Furthermore this conclusion is highly unlikely: isolated between the provinces and legions given to Avidius, the legion would have been forced to join sooner or later. On the other hand, that ̉Αραβες (Arabia) is not among the list of revolted provinces in the speech of Marcus Aurelius to his army in Pannonia (Dio LXXI 25,1), should not be taken lightly. In addition to this, Avidius Cassius was governor of Arabia before his consulate of the year 165 (inscription found 18 km from Bostra, Röm.-germ. Korr.-Bl. 1909, II S.36) and also commanded III Cyrenaica then (already concluded by Rhein. Mus. LIX 194). Should this legion have refused to join him later? By my point of view, the conclusion that in the year 172 severe fighting took place in Arabia (Premerstein Klio XIII 95f) can’t be proven. Any of the audience could only have understood, just like the present unprejudiced reader, the ” ̀Αραβιχὸς πόλεμος” (Arabian war) (Dio LXXI 25, 2), which is mentioned in the speech of Marcus Aurelius, if they knew the military actions of the year 163-166 (s. Abschn. A o. S.1297).

[1513]
III Cyrenaica of course supported the case of Pescennius Niger during the pretender-war of 193. Whether the line “eodem tempore etiam legio Arabica defecisse ad Albinum nuntiata” (Hist. Aug. Sev. 12, 6) is true, such as Hasebroek 83f believes, although it is uncertain if the name of Albinus was added later, remains to be seen. After the defeat of Pescennius Niger, an independent province of Syria Phoenice was created in the year 194 (see Harrer Studies in the history of the Rom. province of Syria 1915, 87f). This seems to be related with the changing of the borders of the province Arabia in the West and Northwest (Rohden De Palaestina et Arabia prov. 17ff; Meyer N. Jahrb. F. klass. Philolog. 1897, 594ff). Because of this, the territory of the legion was enlarged in Batanaea, Trachonitis and Peraea with border posts from a Syrian legion. The tombstone from a legionnaire who died “ὲν τη̃ Μεσοποταμια” (= in Mesopotamia) after 23 years of service and which was buried in Bostra, dates probably from the year 115 (not 215 as Waddington suspects), which relates to the Christian year 219/ 220 (Cagnat IGR III 1329). After this, the legion  probably fought in Mesopotamia during the Parthian war of Caracalla-Macrinus. The ashes of those who were killed in this war were transferred to the camp at Bostra after the delayed return of their comrades from the theatre of war. The legion also took part in the Persian war of 231ff but evidence for this is lacking. In contrast to this, the presence of the legion is attested by CIL III 94 add. p.969 (see Dio LV 23), as well as during Valerian and Gallienus (CIL III 89). One would expect a soldier from III Gallica on the Greek-Palymrian inscription from the year 251. But, the relevant legion is mentioned by the Palmyrian text as being encamped in Bostra. How this person arranged the erection of a monument remains unclear. The latest evidence of the legion is the already mentioned line in the Notitia Dign. Or. XXXVII v.21 (Praefectus legionis tertiae Cyrenaicae, Bostra).

Praefecti:
During Augustus and Tiberius, the legion, as long as it was separated with its own camp, could only have had one praefectus legionis. Such one hasn’t been attested up to now (falsely read in CIG 4922, see also 1506, 30ff).
After its unification with the second Egyptian legion in the camp at Alexandreia, probably during Tiberius, both legions stood under the combined command of the praefectus exercitus qui est in Aegypto, Greek: στρατοπεδάρχης (stratopedarchès) or στρατάρχης (stratarchès), see Mommsen CIL III p.1241.

After the decampment of the legion from Egypt during Hadrian, the legion must have been commanded by a legatus legionis. As she was directed immediately to the province Arabia at that time, about which there is no evidence, the legion’s legate always was identical with respectively leg. Pr. Pr. Arabia. The list is now complete in Brünnow-v. Domaszewski Provincia Arabia III 287-299.
Under the governor, an equestrian officer with the title praefectus or praefectus castrorum functioned now as ever.

Names of the legion
- Surname already since Augustus (CIL X 1685), abbreviation mostly CYR. Next to the normal form Cyrenaica, several other variants appear: Cyrenaeica (CIL VI 3626, X 5368), Cyreneica (VI 2164, 2165, VIII 7050, X 3733, XI 6055), Cyirinaeca (III 12071), Cyrenica (XII 3002), Quirenarica (III 2063). Other surnames previously not known: λεγ. τρίτη Κλαυδία (Bull. De línst. Egypt. 1896 p.122) is probably a mistake. Not rarely without surname in earlier times, leg. III: z. B. CIL III 6024, 6591, 6607, VI 3521 (leg. Tertia), X 1129, XI 3801
- Τερτιανή λεγεων, Année épigr. 1910 nr.209
