General notesThe amendment by CIL III,2 is not essential; the inscription can also be read as Bono Pompo, Bono being the pseudo-gentile, Pompo being the cognomen; both would then be in the dat.sg. of o-stems Bonus, Pompus*. However, the latter name is not attested as o-stem Pompus* at all, but only as Pomponius. -> Bono Pompo(ni).
