Commentary

See the inscription page on the doubtful reading.

If correct, the form is most probably a patronym formed with the suffix -(i)i̯- from a personal name siuil(l)os. The latter would be formed with the suffix -il(l)-; for the base cf. names in siu- in AcS II: 1590 f., the best comparandum being siueli[a] in a Latin inscription from Transalpine Gaul (Delamarre 2007: 169). See also Lejeune 1971: 65, n. 221, Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 150.
