I think that there is such sentence on Ezero ring:
"Rulistënas Nërëna tiltan es, kuoria ziedum ant ilës ûp tami yra
zeltia", meaning "I'm Rulistënas, son of Nërënas, whose ring is on
the finger and there is gold in it". So, if I'm right, then there
was Dacian word ZELTIUM. Also, Russian liguist Vladimir Toporov
wrote that name of Dacian river Zaldapa can be derived from Latvian
word ZELTS, meaning GOLD, and from Dacian word APA, meaning RIVER.
So, name means GOLDEN RIVER.
Are You able to see Lithuanian characters?
