I found staples for round wires that large at Agway, a
farm parts store. Perhaps same in your area.
I moved such a cable in my basement; a feed to
another panel - and the inspector just glanced and
nodded as he walked along it, tracing it. He also had
no comments on the nails inthe first ten feet, which I
didn't have to move, but he inspected the bends quite
carefully.
I wouldn't use flat staples for a round wire - too
many pressure point damage possibilties.
Someone mentioned PVC hangars; I thought that was
good, too, actually, if they really can be made to fit.
I've used them for just about everything else <g>.
