This is not a keyword. At least Rohlfs says clearly: "Nell'Italia
meridionale l'occlusione labiale della /p/ รจ stata sostituita [...]
da una occlusione velare (/k/), condizionata evidentemente nello
stadio /pl'/ dalla natura palatale della /l'/ seguente, in seguito
alla assimilazione parziale". There is no "Ausones" in the phrase.
OTOH, further developments of the same /ky/ are to be found also
in Northern Italian dialects, as you should have already noticed
from some previous posts of mine. So "Ausones" it's just a word
dropped by you in a unrelated sentence.
