Commentary

o-stem personal name in the genitive; the inflection is Latin, but the name is etymologically Celtic. The comparandum usually cited (Ferrero 1897: 60, Rhŷs 1913: 55, Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 154, Tibiletti Bruno 1981: 173, Morandi 2004: 568) is CIL XII 1386 ]adbitus; the attestation is incomplete, but listed in AcS I: 38, KGP: 111, GPN: 129 and Delamarre 2007: 11, and apparently widely considered to be ad-bitu-. It is not clear, however, why */d/ should have become /t/ or otherwise be spelled with tau in the present attestation (in the Latin alphabet); KGP: 111, 61 appears to assume influence from ate-formations on ad-formations, but this is ad hoc. Formally more likely is an analysis with ate-; such a name finds no comparanda, but ate-bīto- 'beaten again' would parallel formations such as ate-u̯rīto- 'found again', ate-gnāto- 'born/known again' (see ateknati), though the semantic appropriateness of 'struck/beaten again' for a personal name is a bit surprising. Alternatively, ate-bit(i)i̯o- could be hypocoristic from a compound with first element bitu- expanded with the preverb in intensifying function.
