Commentary
Documented twice on one object, where both object and inscription can be argued to have ritual character (votive, possibly invocation). We are probably concerned with a testimony of the Celtic theonym Taranis, but see FI-1: Final -s is lacking; Marchesini 2012 argues that the name was adapted to Raetic onomastics (see The Raetic language).
