Description
Abstract (cited)
[FR] Le nouveau texte gaulois vient du quartier Saint-Lupien, à Rezé, Loire-Atlantique. Sur un site gallo-romain qui était l’ancienne rive sud de la Loire, les archéologues, dirigés par Martial Monteil, ont trouvé une plaquette de plomb inscrite sur les deux faces. Après une présentation du contexte archéologique, Pierre-Yves Lambert donne un essai de lecture et d’interprétation linguistique. David Stifter livre des remarques d’ordre épigraphique et linguistique et propose parfois des interprétations alternatives. Les deux faces portent essentiellement un compte, avec une colonne de chiffres à droite et à gauche une colonne de mots qui se révèlent être une série d’adjectifs ordinaux, différente de celle de La Graufesenque : certains ordinaux paraissent de création tardive, comme paetrute «quatrième » , d’autres seraient des archaïsmes, comme pixto-«cinquième » . Le «septième » semble faire l’objet d’un interdit, d’où l’emploi d’une périphrase euphémistique. Quelques notes marginales paraissent enregistrer des achats et des ventes, avec les deux formes verbales prino et rinoti, et le nom d’unité monétaire dinariIu (du latin denarius). Il reste encore de nombreuses incertitudes.
[EN] The Gaulish text from Rezé.
This new Gaulish text comes from the district of Saint Lupien, in Rezé, dep. Loire-Atlantique. On this Gallo-Roman site, which was anciently on the southern brink of the Loire, the archaeologists conducted by Martial Monteil have found a lead tablet with an inscription on both sides. After a presentation of the archaeological context, Pierre-Yves Lambert delivered a tentative reading and linguistic interpretation ; David Stifter gave some epigraphic and linguistic remarks and suggested in some cases alternative proposals. The two faces bear essentially an account, with one column of cyphers on the right, and on the left a column of words which reveal to be a series of ordinal numbers, different from the series in La Graufesenque : some ordinal seem to be latish creations, as paetrute “ fourth”, some others would be archaisms, such as pixto-“ fifth”. The “ seventh” was probably the object of some taboo, whence the use of a euphemistic periphrasis. A few marginal notes would record buyings or sellings, with two verbal forms prino and rinoti, and a monetary unit dinariIu (from Latin denarius). There still remain a number of uncertainties.
