Summary\n
The first part of this article is dedicated to the analysis of several place-names in the area occupied by the Japodes in antiquity. It is argued pace X. Delamarre that Arupium, Metulum, Monetium and Vendum (recte: Avendum) are not linguistically Celtic in origin. Together with the investigation of the personal names of the region conducted earlier by the present author this part of research shows that the share of Celtic linguistic component in the Japodean area has been overestimated. The results of this linguistic research therefore agree with the conclusions of modern historians and archaeologists (B. Olujić, D. Dzino, etc.) who sceptically evaluate the attempts of ancient authors to see in the Japodes “the people who are Illyrians and Celts”. The second part of this paper updates the catalogue of “Greek personal names in Latin Dalmatia” by J. Wilkes (2010). In the last part of this article it is argued that X. Delamarre’s attempt to analyse Ariouindus from the inscription from Salona as Celtic is wrong; moreover, the whole problem was discussed comprehensively by R. Ködderitzsch nearly thirty years ago, and his approach does not require any revision.
