==Commentary==
See the inscription page on the doubtful reading.

If correct, the form is an ''on''-stem personal name, possibly with hypocoristic gemination of the dental. The base could be ''let''(''t'')-, cf. ''letus'', ''let''(''t'')''ius''/-''a'' ({{bib|Delamarre 2007}}: 116), maybe ''lēto-'' 'gray' ({{bib|Delamarre 2007}}: 224, {{bib|DLG}}: 200), or ''led''- ({{bib|Delamarre 2007}}: 224 et passim). See also {{bib|Tibiletti Bruno 1978}}: 150.
