Commentary

Personal name in the dative, formed with the suffix -il(l)- from a nondescript, but most probably Celtic base at(t)-. Formations with -il(l)- and geminate /tt/ (attillus, attillius) are attested in Transalpine Gaul (e.g. Rheinzabern and Windisch, see Delamarre 2007: 32, 212), while simple /t/ occurs in RIG G-218 ατιλα as well as in Northern Italy: frequent atilius/-a (Untermann 1961: 4–7) and a full comparandum atilo in CIL V 6533 (Novara), also attested in the dative atiloni. See Lejeune 1971: 63, n. 201 and 202, 66, Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 143, Stüber 1998: 108, Motta 2000: 210 f., no. 19 (hypocorism of a compound name in ate-).
