Pernaí Kerriíaí

Perna carries the Cereal cult-title like several others in the Agnone list, and reference treatment makes her a goddess of shepherds — grain and flock being the two halves of the same Samnite economy. The derivation of the name is not settled and the gloss is not corroborated outside the list, so the source weight is marked low and the record stays short.
