Commentary

See the inscription page on the reading.

Personal name in the dative; the form's position in the text indicates a patronym or other appositive, but the usual suffixes are absent – indeed, no Celtic suffix appears to be present; neither does the form kuimitros* find any comparanda in Old Celtic. Eska 2006: 232, n. 7 mentions the name as one which could have preserved PIE */k^u̯/, but it may be non-Celtic adapted to Celtic inflection.
