Commentary

See the inscription page on the reading.

Latinised on-stem personal name cipō in the genitive (cf. Schürr 2007: 343). The name finds hardly any comparanda in Gaulish; cf. at most the potter's name cipario listed by Delamarre 2007: 66. If /i/ changes with /e/ (or /ī/ with /ē/), we may compare the only slighly better connected kepi at Garlasco.
