Commentary
Grammatically, the form could be a genitive in -ī of a u-stem minuos, or a dative in -ūi̯ of an o-stem minos. See the inscription page for considerations concerning the text structure and dating; the genitive – patronymic in this case – is overall more probable. The base is likely to be Celtic mīni- 'mild, gentle', of which a u-stem variant seems to be current in northern Italy (cf. minuku).
