Commentary
First published in Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2011: 92.
Images in Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2011: 93, fig. 87 (photo = Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2013: 44 [in colour]), Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2013: 44 (drawing).
Inscribed in two dextroverse lines running downward; well legible.
Solinas (p. 44) proposes that the lines should be read in succession from left to right iouiku uipios (cf. at the same find place BI·1, BI·5, BI·8, s well as NO·21.1 and maybe GR·1), but analyses the latter as the individual name, the former as an appositive in -ū. We prefer to read the inscription as the ones from Cerrione cited above, with iouiku as the individual name and uipios as the patronym in -ii̯-: 'Iouiku (son) of Uip(i)os'.
The grammar and form of the inscription, with on-stem individual name in -ū and appositive in -ii̯-, are Celtic, as is the individual name i̯ou̯inkū lit. 'the young one'. The father's name is difficult to classify; Solinas (p. 44) compares the name of the freedman uipio in a Latin inscription from the Cerrione necropolis (no. 45 in Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2013), but the latter is dated much later, and other options are feasible. See the word pages for details.
