Commentary

See the inscription page on the uncertain reading.

The form, being a patronymic genitive followed by f. in an alphabetically Latin inscription, could only be a consonant stem cipośs, i.e. cipods (hardly with san for a tau gallicum cluster). The convenient comparandum cipodi cited by Rhŷs 1913: 56 and repeated by Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 154, 1981: 173 is, however, a chimera: line 2 of CIL V 8934 (Suno) reads secuddi (recte secundi). We are left with a linguistically highly implausible form (cf. Morandi 2004: 569, Stifter 2024b: 137).
