Commentary
Probably an on-stem personal name in the nominative, though a patronym formed with individualising -ū or -ed- can maybe not be entirely excluded (see the inscription page).
Though the attested form is orthographically ambiguous, the most straight-forward analysis of the name is a hypocorism of a name in king-et- 'attacker, warrior, footsoldier' as in, e.g., CIL XIII 3707 cingetius, Caesar BG V.22.I cingetorix (KGP: 171 f., GPN: 73 f., 177–179, DLG: 116, Delamarre 2007: 216 et passim, Matasović 2009: 200, Stüber 1998: 25, Stüber 2005: 95, De Bernardo Stempel 1999: 156, Irslinger 2002: 58). A spanner is thrown in the works by the potential comparandum RIG M-106 cicedu, which appears to be derived from kīk- 'flesh, muscle' (DLG: 116) with the functionally unclear suffix -ed-, which is commonly attested in combination with on-stems. (Cf. also CIL XIII 2836 cicetius, probably a variant of either of the two.) See Tibiletti Bruno 1979: 258 f., Tibiletti Bruno 1981: 167 f., Markey & Mees 2003: 140, Morandi 2004: 564, Villar & Prósper 2005: 286.
