Commentary

See the inscription page on the reading.

The fragmentary form can be tentatively identified as a patronym based on its position in the text; see the inscription page for details. Cf. on other pala-stelae piuotialui, p?( and p(, as well as plai, Gaul. blaia, blaionia (Delamarre 2007: 43), and names in blando- 'gentle' (RIIG VAU-06-01 [RIG G-146] βλανδοουικουνιαι, SEL-01-03 [G-237] βλαν, cf. Tibiletti Bruno 1997: 1015, Motta 2000: 203).
