My view is that vij = 7. The j signifies it is the last i in a roman numeral. So we have vij = vii, ie 7.
From Wiki for 'J' - The letter 'J' originated as a swash letter I, used for the letter 'I' at the end of Roman numerals when following another 'I', as in 'XXIIJ' instead of 'XXIII' for the Roman numeral representing 23.
