*)abwrigh=nes: e)/qnos. *)aborigi=noi de/.

Transliteration of Latin Aborigines (the ancestors of the Romans). Another attested variant is *a)borigi=nes: so e.g. Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Roman Antiquities 1.9, cited in the long entry in Stephanus of Byzantium s.v. (which defines them as an "Italian" people).
