| General notes | CIL, Lupa and Clauss/Slaby read Liuimae; different reading (Eluima) was proposed by Alföldy 1970: 557 and Mócsy Nomenclator. Here, the latter reading is adopted due to the clearly Celtic context of the inscription and in general because of better evidence for a name Eluima (attested two more times in Noricum) than for an otherwise unattested Liuima*. |
