Commentary
Image in Morandi 2004: 806, tav. XXIX (photo).
The fourth word has mostly been read saśadis with Lepontic san as a borrowed letter for a sound which could not be rendered accurately with the Latin alphabet. Zavaroni 2008: 20 and Schürr 2007: 340 f. propose the reading sanadis with a misspelling of Latin nu as suggested for VB·30 cipośis (or possibly saṇṇadis with a ligature for nn). Cf. also Tibiletti Bruno 1990: 65, n. 30. For parallels with the PNN in the area of Brescia and the discussion of Celts in the Valcamonica see Schürr 2007: 341 f., Untermann 1959, Meid 1989: 26, Priuli 1993: 27 f., Pause 1997: 261.
