Commentary
First published in Pellegrini 1963.
Images in Pellegrini 1963: 302, fig. 1 (photo = RIG II: 40, fig. 18) and 303, fig. 2 (drawing = RIG II: 40, fig. 19), Piana Agostinetti 1997–1999 III: 468, fig. 28 (drawing), Morandi 2004: 593, fig. 15.101 (drawing).
Inscribed in neat letters above a line running around the flask's shoulder (length 7.5 cm). There may be a space after esopnos, but the last four letters are generally more spaced out (cf. RIG II: 40).
Following Pellegrini, the text is generally interpreted as a name formula with a Celtic individual name esopnos and possibly Celtic genitival patronym kepi (Tibiletti Bruno 1964: 169–174, Lejeune 1971: 406, 408, Tibiletti Bruno 1975: 54, Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 148, 153, Tibiletti Bruno 1981: 187, no. 32, RIG II: 40, Solinas 1995: 367, no. 110, Morandi). See the word pages for comparanda and etymologies. Considering the ambiguous spacing, one might separate esopno (with lost final -s) from a patronym skepi, but the latter finds no better comparanda than kepi.
The inscription is included among the six Cisalpine Gaulish documents in RIG II as E-4.
