Commentary

Reading of the single attestation all but impossible, see NM·11.

If correct, a masculine o-stem personal name in the nominative, probably from the well-attested, but opaque base kassi- (Conway et al. 1933: 12, Lejeune 1971: 129 with n. 451). Cf. probable Latinised kasilus. kasilos finds comparanda in Gaulish (Latinised) casillus, cassillius (Delamarre 2007: 59) and Celtiberian kasilos (Stüber et al. 2009: 259).
