Commentary
See the inscription page on the reading.
The possibly misspelled form is most likely an abbreviation of a name in at(t)-, conceivably with suffix -iss- to account for double sigma (cf. Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 145), e.g. CIL XIII 7553 atisso, CIL XII 2200, V 3499 atisius, RIG M-56 atisios. An i-stem at(t)-is may be possible, if the second sigma is spurious, but is only attested in Polybios II 21.5 as the name of a Boiian king in Italy (cf. Rhŷs 1913: 60, Morandi 2004: 561). Also possible is a derivation from a name with preverb ad-. Cf. atios also at Ornavasso.
