Commentary
See the inscription page on the uncertain reading.
If alphabetical, the sequence can be interpreted as a personal name in tri- (or possibly dri-), either a hypocorism of a compound name with first element tri- 'three' (e.g. tridallus, though the base is hardly used in personal onomastics) or an abbreviation of a name in triu-, e.g. trivus (cogn.), triumo, triumus (cf. Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 144, Delamarre 2007: 185). See also Salomon 2024: 167.
