Commentary

See the inscription pages on the reading.

The form is most likely an abbreviated personal name, conceivably a compound with first element rio-. The latter is identified with rīgo- by Rhŷs 1913: 30 (no. 10), who compares Ir. rígbard/rígbardan, but see the morpheme page on the possibility of an alternative etymology rii̯o- 'free' (without comparanda for the full compound with initial labial in the second element). Cf. rio. See also Salomon 2024: 167.
