Commentary

o-stem personal name in the genitive; the underlying form may be u̯itil(l)os or u̯itil(li)i̯os. The latter is likely attested in uitilios, though the numerous reading options of the base (uī̆t(t)-, uī̆d-, uint-) render the comparison somewhat uncertain. See uitilios for comparanda and a discussion of the analysis of the base.
