See the inscription page on the reading.

Patronym in the dative formed from a personal name telios*. The best comparanda for the base are names in dell-, especially the formally equivalent delli̯os, delli̯ā, which have a wide distribution in Transalpine Gaul (e.g. CIL XII 5011 dellia [Narbonne], s. Delamarre 2007: 219 et passim).
