Addendum to pg.13, fn. 23

To the resources for the Sabellic languages add Crawford 2011, which refers to the epoch-making three volume Imagines Italicae, a corpus of almost all the inscriptions in the Italic (i.e. what I call Sabellic) languages—the Tabulae Iguvinae are not included.  Most texts are illustrated with a photo and there are many new readings based on autopsy.

The earliest notation of geminate consonants, p.29

On pg. 29 I wrote "Geminate notation appears for the first time around 250 BCE (COTTAS, ILLRP 1277).". Although this date is the one that Degrassi gave for this inscription from near Corleone in Sicily, following the suggestion of Di Vita's that the Cotta mentioned in this milestone was C. Aurelius Cotta, the consul of 248 BCE, it seems more probably for a number of reasons that the Cotta involved was the consul of 144, L. Aurelius Cotta.  This means that the earliest graphically indicated gemination of consonants is HINNAD, from 208 BCE (ILLRP 295).
