Commentary
First published in Ferrero 1889: 261 (a). Examined for LexLep on 20th April 2024.
Images in Ferrero 1889: 261 (drawing), Ponti 1896: 157, no. 198 (drawing from Fabretti's calque), Ferrero 1897: 60 (drawing from Fabretti's calque), Caramella & De Giuli 1993: 211 (drawing).
Inscribed in three centered lines in the upper area of the stela (length line 1 31.5 cm, line 2 29 cm; distance from top 11 cm). The script is Latin, the letters are executed with serifs. 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). See Ponti 1896: 157 f., Ferrero 1897: 60, no. 5, Danielsson 1909: 27, n. 2, Rhŷs 1913: 54 f., Whatmough PID 108, note xvii (b), Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 154, Tibiletti Bruno 1981: 172 f., no. 18a, Morandi 2004: 568, no. 72.
See the object page on the dating. Based on the absence of a frame and use of the Latin alphabet without Lepontic influence, VB·29 belongs to the latest layer of the attested Verbano gravestones.
