This is a pet peeve of mine...but if you have to use the D word, it's Daza not Daia. Lactantius incorrectly used Daia, perhaps as a mistake or what had been passed down to him. Daza is an Illyrian name; while Daia is not. The name is also not part of his imperial titles, so there is no real purpose in using it--just plain old Maximinus will do fine.
for more on this see the article by Christopher Mackay--
LACTANTIUS AND THE SUCCESSION TO DIOCLETIAN
Also, Sutherland would agree with you.
Guilty - may have to start using Daza.
I just use Daia (Daza) because it's shorter and easier to type.
This is a local ski resort near me, named after the military guy (name kinda gives it away!) who had it created as a West Point training facility. They let us yokels go there midweek too.
Makes me think I should start calling Constantine "VC" since Trachala is too long of a nickname. :)
