General notesorthographic variant of Caixu; for the alternation of g and c in Celtic names, see KGP 100, GPN 400f. The name has no etymology, but note its Celtic inflection as n-stem in -u, -unis; could stand for palatalised /s/, thus possibly celticised Latin name Caeso ?
Other attestationsNOR 2 (CIL III 5422, RISt 80).
