Commentary
First published in De Giuli 1978: 15. Examined for LexLep on 20th April 2024.
Images in De Giuli 1978: 18 (photo = De Giuli 1979: 248, fig. 3 = Mainardis 2009: 337, fig. 5) and 15 (drawing = De Giuli 1979: 248), Caramella & De Giuli 1993: 208 (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. Eks appears in an unusual form which may have been made up by the writer to avoid the homography with Lepontic 
. Mainardis 2009: 344 suggests that the for filius is written in a third line because it was felt to be a novel addition to the traditionally two-word name formulae.
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 diuco atloucis·f 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, Caramella & De Giuli 1993: 208.
See the object page on the dating. 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. Based on the stela shape and absence of a frame beside remnants of Lepontic influence in the letter forms and possibly layout, VB·24 is likely to be one of the later, though not among the very latest of the attested Verbano gravestones.
