Segmentation uncertain, see the inscription page.

If the sequence is a separate word, as assumed by {{bib|Lejeune 1971}}: 128 f., it may be an ''ā''-stem personal name with base {{m||an-}} (cf. ''ana'' in Pannonia, {{bib|Meid 2005}}: 217), or an abbreviation (cf. {{w||anareuiśeos}}, {{w||anarekartos}}, {{w||anask}}). Lejeune himself suggests that ''ana'' is an abbreviated ethnonym, since he does not expect two personal names on the same coin, but has no comparanda to offer.
