Abstract

The editors of a recently published inscription from Plasencia (Cáceres) have found in it three god names in the dative case: Solidi, Labbo, and Lacissabricobo, of which Labbo was already attested in the Lusitanian inscription from Cabeço das Fráguas. However, this new inscription should rather be interpreted as consisting of a naming formula that includes the father’s name in the genitive (Solidi), followed by a god name plus its epithet, both in the dative plural (Labbo Lagissabrigobo), which involves a new linguistic analysis of the god name Labbo.
