?????????? = "all iron" = Soliferrum ("Solus" = "only" + "Ferrum" = "iron" / or alternatively "Solis" = "javelin" + "Ferrum" = "iron) also called ?????? ("GAISOS" = Greek lecture for celtic term "GAESUM" ).
It's not clear to me how this text proves gaesum and soliferrum refer to the same type of spear, which is what synonymy would mean.
Livy wrote of Iberians hurling their soliferra (XXXIV.14). But for Pollux ?????? was Libyan and I must add Livy has also a mention of a Roman general being struck by a Carthaginian gaesum (XXVI.6)
Drago?
