    • 2025, Cid Swanenvleugel, The Pre-Roman Elements of the Sardinian Lexicon, page 394:
      The relative isolation of the Punic speech community in Sardinia from the rest of the Punic-speaking world is demonstrated by a monolingual Punic inscription from the late 2nd or early 3rd c. CE in Bitia, which still uses the Punic script rather than the Neo-Punic script that had emerged elsewhere.
