Commentary
Possibly a Raetic theonym, usually appearing in the benefactive genitive. The attestation with final a can hardly be contested on SZ-16 and also NO-2, if authentic; NO-16 is debatable. The base tianus also appears on its own. See also θianu which casts doubt on the interpretation as a theonym.
