I did not like the Greek angle but the Oscan angle is sound I think. See my comment on Sarcinatrix. Seems to be constellation of dimly understood Oscan connections that may be an expression of Pomponius ancestral connection to Oscan.

Sarcinatrix not Darci ugh

I suspect Darci attic is a creative misunderstanding of the title sacaracrix. The term apparently means priestess. Untermann’s dictionary of Oscan and Umbrian has details.

I don’t think any of them would need to be marked.Hence my skepticism. An acute accent would be a Greek feature that is wholly foreign to Latin. Hence my discomfort with an accent to the nativized form Musa. If it was spelled Mousa then it could just about work but even there is no sigma.

As far as I am aware there were no diacritical marks. The so called Accian geminatio was used to distinguish between long and short vowels.

Looks like a dot to me. You have an Occam’s razor issue. Not only has there have to be an accent but the accent should be a circumflex for a transliteration of Greek Mousa (sorry on my phone).

That was Albert Heinrich’s m o. It seems kind of performative to me.

My (great) uncle Mike worked for the Pennsylvania railroad in Newark. He was an immigrant too.

Could it be a consular baton? Looks like there is break between it and the horizontal bar

The publication process is an opportunity for cowards to say things they would never say to someone’s face.
