Commentary
First published in De Giuli 1979: 248. Examined for LexLep on 20th April 2024.
Images in De Giuli 1979: 248 (photo fig. 3 and drawing).
Inscribed in three neatly centered lines in the upper area of the stela (length line 1 46 cm, line 2 48 cm; distance from top 42 cm). The script is Latin and some of the letters feature serifs, but nu is Lepontic.
The text is a Latinised name formula with individual name and filiation; both names are etymologically Celtic (see the word pages). The individual name diuco is also attested in a Latin inscription on a gravestone from Bee near Verbania (Lanza & Poletti Ecclesia 2021). Cf. Tibiletti Bruno 1979: 260–262, Tibiletti Bruno 1981: 168, no. 15a, De Giuli 1979: 245, 251. Morandi 2004: 565 dates the inscription to the first half of the 1st century BC based on the use of ⟨x⟩ rather than ⟨xs⟩, but this seems too early; the Epigraphische Datenbank Heidelberg (HD001987) dates the document to the 1st century AD.
