Commentary

o-stem individual name in the nominative. See sol(l)- on the uncertain etymology and meaning of the base and the variation between simple and geminate /l/. A monothematic o-stem soll(i)us is only attested with geminate /ll/ (see Delamarre 2007: 171), and names in soll- are notably common in Lombardy (CIL V 5830 sollonius [Milano], 4197 sollonius [Brescia], 3426 sollonio [dat., Verona], solliae [dat., Milano]), but cf. also sola at Cureggio and CIL V 6553 sola at Novara.
