Commentary
Grammatically, the form is a Latin genitive. While it could hypothetically be a patronymic genitive, the absence of f. indicates that it is a cognomen (see the inscription page). A base pus(s)- is attested sporadically and predominantly in the Transalpine east – cf. especially pusionis at Bad Kreuznach (AE 1927, 68) – but a Celtic etymology is difficult. A connection with buđ- is precluded by the use of the Latin alphabet, which would reflect initial /b/ with beta (cf. sabi).
