commentary

Korhonen and Soraci 2019: 108 at n.74 suggest that a second individual is named in line 3, but note that therefore the first person would be seemingly lacking both filiation and tribal, and therefore a single person with possibly more than three onomastic elements seems perhaps simpler.
