Commentary
Personal name in the nominative; see the inscription page on the uncertain reading of the anlaut (alternatively iazus).
Under the assumption that zeta reflects a tau gallicum cluster, the base can be compared to assu-/astu- (Lejeune 1971: 130 f.); in this case, final -us may be the u-stem ending, but a Latinised o-stem is also possible.
