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 -(i)i̯-, 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.).
