Commentary

The name, probably with Latinised ending -us for -os rather than u-stem -us, is attested in Transalpine Gaulish: ateuloibitis (gen., Nîmes), ]ateuloibito (Avignon), RIG M-55 ateuloib, see Delamarre 2007: 30. It is evidently Gaulish, but has so far not been convincingly analysed; the most plausible segmentation is ate-u̯loi̯p-it-us, but the middle element is unclear.
