Commentary
First published in Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2011: 92. Examined for LexLep on 22nd April 2024.
Images in Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2011: 93, fig. 87 (photo = Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2013: 44 [in colour]), Brecciaroli Taborelli 2011: 502, tav. 121 (drawing = Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2013: 44).
Inscribed in two dextroverse lines running downward (length 41.5 and 38 cm respectively); well legible. Solinas (Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2013: 44) proposes that the lines should be read in succession from left to right iouiku uipios (cf. at the same find place BI·1, BI·5, BI·8, as well as NO·21.1 and maybe GR·1), but analyses the latter as the individual name, the former as an appositive in -ū. We prefer to read the inscription as the ones from Cerrione cited above, with iouiku as the individual name and uipios as the patronym in -ii̯-: 'Iouiku the Uipian'.
The grammar and form of the onomastic formula, with on-stem individual name in -ū and appositive in -(i)i̯-, are Celtic, as is the individual name i̯ou̯inkū lit. 'the young one'; cf. the Latin inscription no. 30 from the necropolis (first half of 2nd c. AD), in which the abbreviation io of a father's name may be of the same name according to Cresci Marrone's reading (Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2013: 112). The father's name is more difficult to classify; Solinas (Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2013: 44) compares uipio in a Latin inscription from the Cerrione necropolis (no. 45 in Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2013), but it is the name of a freedman who died ca. 200 years after the son of uip(i)os, and is not altogether likely to have anything to do with the latter. A preferable comparandum is the Latin praenomen uibius, which is attested as a father's name uibi f. in the Latin inscription no. 13 from the necropolis (Augustan age) (possibly also in the younger no. 40, dated to 70–170 AD; cf. Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2013: 137), and in other Roman inscriptions in the Piemonte area; an etymologically Celtic reading is also possible. See the word pages for details.
