[[File:Carnonos on RIG I G-224.jpg|thumb|A [[capital (architecture)|capital]] with [[Gaulish]] {{lang|xtg|καρνονου}} or {{lang|xtg|καρνομου}}]]
A [[capital (architecture)|capital]] found in [[Aumes]], France{{efn|''[[Recueil des inscriptions gauloises|RIG]]'' I G-224}} is inscribed with a short [[Gaulish]] text in [[Greek letters]]. [[Michel Lejeune (linguist)|Michel Lejeune]] has interpreted this inscription as a dedication to a god {{lang|xtg|καρνονου}} (translit. {{transliteration|xtg|karnonou}}; in English, "Carnonos"), whom he tentatively connects with the god Cernunnos. However, both Lejeune's reading and his interpretation of this inscription have been contested. Whatmough and [[D. Ellis Evans]] prefer the reading {{lang|xtg|καρνομου}} (translit. {{transliteration|xtg|karnomou}}); and [[Emmanuel Dupraz]] has argued that the inscription states that an object {{lang|xtg|καρνον}} (translit. {{transliteration|xtg|karnon}}) is being offered, rather than giving the name of a god.<ref name=G224>''[[Recueil des inscriptions gauloises|RIG]]'' I [https://riig.huma-num.fr/documents/HER-03-01 G-224] via ''Recueil informatisé des inscriptions gauloises''.

A bronze [[tabula ansata]] from [[Steinsel]], [[Luxembourg]],{{efn|{{AE|1987|772}}}} dating between the late 2nd and early 3rd century CE, is dedicated to one {{lang|la|Deo Ceruninco}} ("god Cerunincus"). Though close in name to Cernunnos, the editors of ''[[L'Année épigraphique]]'' argue that the form of the name entails that it must be another (probably [[Treveri]]an) god.<ref name=AE>{{cite book |chapter=No. 772 (Trois Gaules) |title= L'Année épigraphique 1987 |date=1990 |pages=220 |publisher=Presses Universitaires de France |jstor=25607525 }} = {{cite book |chapter=No. 542 (Trois Gaules) |title= L'Année épigraphique 1989 |date=1992 |pages=167–168 |jstor=25607598 |publisher=Presses Universitaires de France }}</ref>
