Commentary
First published in De Giuli 1979: 246.
Images in De Giuli 1979: 246 (photo fig. 1 and drawing), Tibiletti Bruno 1979: 255, fig. 1 (drawing).
Tibiletti Bruno 1979: 253–257 (254 f.) considers the name formula inverted, with the individual name pianu in line 2, the patronym in -(i)i̯- aśkonetio in line 1 (comparing VB·28 namu esopnio from nearby Levo; thus also Tibiletti Bruno 1981: 166 f., no. 14, Markey & Mees 2003: 139, Morandi 2004: 564). Alternatively, pianu can be interpreted as a patronym in -ū, as per De Hoz 1990: 323 f. and Lejeune 1971: 53 (see The Cisalpine Celtic Languages); thus Solinas 1995: 372, no. 120, critical Eska 1995: 43 β.
