A Good Works Translation from RIIG BDR-12-04 and BDR-12-05

Not every Glanum inscription gives a clean dedication. One record is a lost stone known only through divergent manuscript copies; another is a damaged altar whose personal name and patronymic remain only partly legible. The dossier keeps both objects in the library while marking the limits of what can be translated.

Translation

BDR-12-04 — Lost Stone of Glanum

Cautious Rendering

...uncertain copied letters... bratou...

Translation Note

The object is lost. RIIG's record warns that the first copy may not have been faithful and that only divergent copies of that copy survive. The only stable element is the final bratou, part of the Gallo-Greek votive formula. The cautious rendering therefore preserves the record as a copied fragment instead of translating the uncertain preceding sequence.

BDR-12-05 — Damaged Altar from the Baths of Glanum

Cautious Translation

Camulatia, daughter of U...

Translation Note

RIIG's Lejeune translation gives "Camulatia, daughter of U." but the apparatus repeatedly marks the interpretation as difficult. The beginning is probably the female personal name Camulatia; the following patronymic is badly damaged. The recipient deity may not have been named, may have been implied by the altar's setting, or may have stood in a lost or unreadable portion of the text. The translation keeps the broken patronym visible and does not add a divine recipient.

Cluster Note

These two Glanum records belong beside the clearer Glanum altar pages, but they are not the same kind of evidence. One is a lost inscription known through copied copies; the other is an incomplete altar whose surface makes many letters uncertain. They are kept together as difficult source records so that the Glanum shelf includes the damaged edge of the corpus as well as the clear dedications.

Colophon

This page translates and renders RIIG BDR-12-04 and BDR-12-05 from Gaulish in Greek script for the Celtic continental expansion of the Good Work Library. The translation is intentionally conservative because one source is a lost copied record and the other is a damaged altar with uncertain interpretation.
