Abstract
[cat] Aquest article recull un total de vint-i-dues inscripcions breus d'època romana procedents d'onze hipogeus d'arreu de l'illa de Menorca, algunes de les quals romanien inèdites. El conjunt, tot i compartir suport, és divers pel que fa als continguts. Entre d'altres, hi ha mostres de religiositat (paganes, com és el cas del teònim romà Summanus, i cristianes), un epitafi (dedicat a Honorius), tres mencions a Vespasià i una sèrie d'antropònims insòlits (Iasidur, Tasidur, Iucuta, Iaso, Iaguren) per als quals es proposa un origen nord-africà i més concretament paleoamazic.
[eng] This paper gathers 22 inscriptions (some of them unpublished) dated to Roman period and read on the walls of 11 hypogea from Minorca (Balearic Islands). Although they share a similar context, their contents are diverse: they contain religious texts (the rare Roman god Summanus, as well as some Christian formulae), an epitaph (to Honorius), three graffiti with Vespasianus and some personal name (Iasidur, Tasidur, Iucuta, Iaso, Iaguren) suggested to have a North-African origin, more concretely Paleo-Amazigh.
