You're thinking of a different fort - al-Lajjûn in Israel.
El-Lejjun (Roman Betthorus) is in modern Jordan, and Diocletianic. It was probably the base for IV Martia.
Udrah, also in Jordan and with similar appearance and size (4.7 hectares) was probably the later base for VI Ferrata.
This is Lejjun. Barrack size and number of rooms definitely suggest smaller subunit sizes (c.64 per century?). I don't see more than about 1200 men fitting in there either:
