Ptuj Inscription
The Ptuj inscription, discovered in 1894, is written right to left in a northern Italic alphabet and reads:
| “ | ARTEBUDZBROGDUI | ” |
This is interpreted as two personal names: Artebudz of Brogduos. The name Artebudz may mean "bear penis", while Brogduos may contain the element brog-, mrog- "country". Alternatively, the inscription may be interpreted as Artebudz for Brogdos, with the second name in the dative case.

Famous quotes containing the word inscription:
“Gratefully accepting the proffered honor, [to inscribe a new legal work to him] I give the leave, begging only that the inscription may be in modest terms, not representing me as a man of great learning, or a very extraordinary one in any respect.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
