Commentary

Masculine personal name. (Potentially) Celtic comparanda include the potter's names Marichal 1988 no. 12 polos or RIG L-20.55 bollo at La Graufesenque, also bollucus (Delamarre 2007: 45). Neither name has good Celtic credentials, as their attestation is sparse, no compound names with elements pol- or boll- are attested, and no etymologies suggest themselves. On the uncertain Celticity of polos cf. GPN: 463 with further pol-names of doubtful relevance, Marichal 1988: 268 (spelling variant of Lat. paullus or Gk πωλος 'filly'). An reading as polios is supported by publius polio on a 2nd c. Roman stela from Sesto Calende (Sartori 2009b: 464 f., SC14.03).
