Inscribed in a single sinistroverse line running upward; the only sinistroverse inscription from the [[Cerrione necropolis]]. The inscription is abraded and disturbed by a break and missing piece of the stone's surface in the lower area, in which no more than two letters should be missing. Our reading follows the original publication. Before alpha, a section of stone is left, on which no letters can be made out, but the reading by Solinas implies uncertainty as to whether letters may be lost. Solinas (p. 32) notes that the bars of four-stroke sigma as well as mu are executed as curved lines.

The inscription records an onomastic formula with individual name and patronym {{w||matikios}}. The father's name ''matik''(''i'')''os'' is Celtic; the damaged personal name also finds potential comparanda in Gaulish inscriptions. For {{w||aki??ios}}, Solinas (p. 32) points out {{w||akitu}} in [[BI·4]] and {{w||akisios}} in [[VC·1.2]], but notes herself that more than one letter is missing in the gap. Fitting options with Gaulish comparanda include e.g. ''akianios''; the gap is hardly large enough for three letters, but at a stretch one could consider suffixed variants of the base ''agis''-/''acis''- (see {{m||aged-}}), with slender sigma, such as ''agisilios'', ''akisilios'', ''akisinios'' (see {{bib|Delamarre 2007}}: 10, 15). If the name is incomplete in the beginning, cf. e.g. ''mag''/''cianus'', ''magionus'', ''mag''/''ciatus'', ''dagionius'' (see {{bib|Delamarre 2007}}: 81, 122 f.).

Stela BI·2 Cerrione with inscription BI·2 from Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2013

Commentary

First published in Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2011: 92.

Images in Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2011: 93, fig. 88 (photo = Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2013: 32 [in colour]), Brecciaroli Taborelli 2011: 387, tav. 6 (drawing = Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2013: 32).

Inscribed in a single sinistroverse line running upward; the only sinistroverse inscription from the Cerrione necropolis and possibly the only one running upward (see BI·3). The inscription is abraded and disturbed by a break and missing piece of the stone's surface in the lower area, in which no more than two letters should be missing. Our reading follows the original publication. Before alpha, a section of stone is left, on which no letters can be made out, but the reading by Solinas implies uncertainty as to whether letters may be lost. Solinas (Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2013: 32) notes that the bars of four-stroke sigma as well as mu are executed as curved lines.

The grammar and form of the onomastic formula, with o-stem individual name in -os and patronym in -ii̯-, are Celtic, as is the name underlying the patronym matik(i)os. The damaged personal name also finds potential comparanda in Gaulish inscriptions – Solinas (Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2013: 32) points out akitu in BI·4 and akisios in VC·1.2, but notes herself that more than one letter is missing in the gap. Fitting options with Gaulish comparanda include e.g. akianios; the gap is hardly large enough for three letters, but at a stretch one could consider suffixed variants of the base agis-/acis- (see aged-), with slender sigma, such as agisilios, akisilios, akisinios (see Delamarre 2007: 10, 15). If the name is incomplete in the beginning, cf. e.g. mag/cianus, magionus, mag/ciatus, dagionius (see Delamarre 2007: 81, 122 f.).
