1         

Aunillus: the first letter looks like the A in Minura (6), the second letter has the first diagonal of V but no sign (except the appropriate space) of the second. For the ‘Celtic’ name Aunillus cf. CIL xiii 1210 and 3282 (Aunilla) and v 5374 (Aunillius).

2         

V[ica]riana: the traces suit VIC to begin with, and exclude Valeriana; but there is not enough space for Victoriana. So read V[ica]riana, which is not found in Kajanto Cognomina, but is an acceptable development of the Latin cognomen Vicarius.

3         

Covitius: there is no sign of the leftward extension of the crossbar of T, but C can be excluded since in this hand it is made in a single curving stroke. The name Covitius is not attested, but Covirius cannot be read.

4         

The second letter is damaged, but lying between M and N it must be a vowel; E is the only other possibility, but in view of the frequency of Minius / Minnius, MINI can easily be understood as the patronymic of Covitius (3). Only a vertical stroke survives of the last letter in the line; the sequence DONA requires some part of the verb donare, but there is no trace either of the crossbar of T (for donat) or the diagonal of N (for donant). Donare is frequent in curse-tablet texts in the sense of ‘give’, i.e. devote to divine vengeance, and the formulaic dona[t] is the likeliest reading, the three persons in 1-3, like Minura in 6, being each regarded as the subject.

5         

Varicillum: like Varianus at Uley (Uley-43), this looks like an elaboration of the Latin cognomen Varus, but it really conceals the Celtic name-element -varus. Varicillus is found in CIL xiii 4301, Elvorix Varicilli f(ilius), where it is clearly a ‘Celtic’ name.

6         

Minura: the reading is certain. Holder notes Appian, Hisp. 71, Minurus a friend of Viriathus in Lusitania; but we have not found the instance of Minurius attributed by Mócsy Nomenclator to Gallia Belgica.

7         

Atavacum: again the reading is certain, but the name Atavacus seems to be unattested. If it is a ‘Celtic’ name, it is not necessarily connected with Atavus / Atavius in central Italy (CIL ix 5022, x 6347), but Holder cites a gold coin of the Arverni reading ATAV.

8-9         

Inscribed in a different script and now rather faint; there are some recognizable letters (e.g. V and N in 8).
