Commentary
= CIL: V 4883
=Fabretti 1867 (CII): 13
The fourth word has mostly been read saśadis, because the graphem looks like a Lepontic San. Zavaroni (2008: 20) and Schürr (2006: 340-341) though propose the reading saṇadis (or possibly also saṇṇadis, if this sign should be a ligature for nn). For the reading of this sign cf. also Tibiletti Bruno 1990: 65 fn. 30, cipośis on VB·30. Zavaroni (2008: 23-31) puts forward, that it could be a double onomastic formula, once Gaulish-/Latinised and once Camunic/Euganic, where tetumus = θome, sanadis = sanaθina. For Etruscan parallels see Zavaroni 2008: 23, CIE: 1416, CIE: 890, CIE: 1048. For parallels with the PN in the area of Brescia and regarding the discussion of the Celts (= celtic culture) in Valcamonica see Schürr 2006: 341-342, fn. 11, Untermann 1959, Meid 1989: 26, Priuli 1993: 27ff., Pause 1997: 261.
