[EN] Châteaubleau : The Gaulish tile with nine lines.Found in July 2017, this tile inscribed with nine lines was reused to pave the bottom of a trough for slaking lime, around 200 AD. The finding spot is close to the Grands Jardins, which provided the eleven-line tile in 1997. But the new inscribed tile has not been kept in its entirety, missing nearly all the left half of the text. The writing of this tile closely resembles that of the 1997 one : SS is used for the affricate. We however noticed a new letter form, seemingly a variant of -t- used only after vowel -i-. We can also distinguish two different scribes, “ scribe Z” and “ scribe tau”, thus named according to the form they use for this variant of -t-. Our interpretation recovers some calques from Latin : logitu, perhaps equivalent to Latin locatos “ let” ; figlitati, an abstract derived from the Latin noun for “ potter”, figulus ; suesanu, probably derived from the ordinal suexos “ sixth”, referring maybe to a fraction of the revenues paid back by the tenant. It is suggested that the text may be either a regulation particular to potters, or a lease contract for installing or running a tilery. This contract begins with a man name (Auedo Canio), and ends with a place name (en Epodore Core), the latter being, together with other important stipulations, written by “ scribe tau”.
