Let's add the Kartvelian toponymic Sa-prefix to the tribes' names on Ptolemy's map, and see if we get real family names:
Turduli, Turdetani, Turdi - Saturdo, Saturde
Carpi, Carpetani - Sacarpo, Sacarpe
Venedi, Veneti - Savende, Savente
Kelti - Saquelto
Boii - Saboie
Varduli - Savardo
Bastuli - Sabasto
Iberi - Saibero
Vascos, Vascones - Sabasco, Savasco
As you see, the idea is working, making the presence of the Kartvelian Sa-prefix over Europe undoubtful.
