Vile is probably a name
Dear Saskia
I have found Vile in a list on Etruscan inscriptions:
"hercle vile IV ES 128
...
laran hercle menrva vile III ES 255 C"
http://web.infinito.it/utenti/e/etruscan/specu2.htm
These are mirror backs:
Since it appears in a naming series with Laran, Hercle and Menerva it should be name...

Comment: "You are amazing to have found this information!!!! You have also trusted me that I am not a complete fool, even though I could not type yesterday. Yes, it must be a name, I suspect somehow connected to Iolaos, the Etruscans are elusive and mysterious. I will leave it the way it is set out in the original text. I am not an expert on Etruscans. If I could, I would award you 10 points!!! You deserve it."

maybe Iole,
Declined
I came up with the name Iole in connection with Herakles and Iolaos. Since your text seems to have many typos (is it scanned, maybe)This could be a possibility.
IOLE Ty G11 von HERAKLES verlobt mit seinem Sohn HYLLOS
http://www.antike-mythologie.de/Pages/GindexI.html
EURYTOS AND IOLE
In those versions where Megara is still alive, Herakles now gave her to Iolaos. Wanting a new wife, he went to participate in the archery contest which Eurytos of Oichalia, Herakles’ former archery instructor, was holding for the hand of his daughter Iole. Although Herakles won the contest (and the support of Iphitos, Eurytos’ oldest son), Eurytos feared that Herakles would again kill his children and refused to give Iole to him. He got Herakles drunk at a banquet after the contest and drove him out of his land.

Comment: "Unless the original text has not been scanned properly, the question is about "Vile", as referring to Ioalos"
