The Norische is a mainland Celtic language . It is only documented in two fragments from the Roman province of Noricum . One fragment was found in Grafenstein ( Austria ), the other in Ptuj ( Slovenia ).
Noric probably shows close parallels to Gallic . It is not known when this language became extinct .
Pettauer inscription
The Pettauer (Ptuj) inscription, which was discovered in 1894, is written in the old Italian alphabet .
“ARTEBUDZBROGDUI”
" Artebudz [son of] Brogduos ."
The name Artebudz could mean “ bear penis ” , while Brogduos could be derived from brog-, mrog- “land”. Alternatively, the inscription could also be interpreted as follows: Artebudz [did this for] Brogdos , whereby the second name would be in the dative .
Grafensteiner inscription
The Grafensteiner inscription, on a tile from the 2nd century, was found in 1977 in a gravel pit. It is incomplete and therefore allows for different interpretations.
“MOGE · ES [
P · II- LAV · EX [
ṆE · SAḌỊÍES [
OLLO · SO · VILO [
ỌNẠ C […]
OLLO · S O ·? [
P LṾGNṾ · SI ”
Moge seems to be a personal name, P · II-lav a Latin abbreviation for a weight, ne sadiíes a verb with the possible meaning “not specified”, ollo possibly “this amount” and Lugnu another personal name. The text could accordingly be a record of some financial transaction.
Other readings of the inscription were given, for example:
"MOGE · ES + [---]
PET (?) LAV · EX [---]
NE · SAMES [---]
OLLO · SO · VILO · [---]
ONA O (?) + ++
OLLO · SO +
+ LVGNI SI "
and
"MOGV · CISS [---
PETILAV · IEX [---
NE · SADIIES [---
OLLO · SO · VILO · [---
ONA DOM ... OC [
OLLO · SO · VIA. [
