Editing Artio (section)

==Attestations==
A bronze sculpture from the [[Muri statuette group]], found near [[Bern]] in Switzerland, shows a large bear facing a woman seated in a chair, with a small tree behind the bear. The woman seems to hold fruit in her lap, perhaps feeding the bear.<ref>Deyts p.&nbsp;48, Green pp.&nbsp;217–218</ref> The sculpture has a large rectangular bronze base, which bears the inscription "Deae Artioni / Licinia Sabinilla" ("To the Goddess Artio" or "Artionis", "from Licinia Sabinilla"). If the name is Gaulish but the syntax is Latin, a dative ''Artioni'' would give an i-stem nominative ''*Artionis'' or an n-stem nominative ''*Artio''. That would perhaps correspond to a Gaulish n-stem nominative ''*Artiu''.

Other inscriptions to the goddess have been discovered in [[Daun, Germany|Daun]] (CIL 13, 4203), [[Weilerbach]] (CIL 13, 4113), [[Heddernheim]] (CIL 13, 7375 [4, p 125]), and [[Stockstadt (disambiguation)|Stockstadt]] (CIL 13, 11789).<ref>''[[Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum|CIL]]'' XIII</ref>
