Inscribed in a single line within a frame running from bottom to top; the letters of the third word had to be squeezed more tightly than the rest of the inscription to fit underneath the circular head of the anthropomorphic frame (cf. {{bib|De Marinis & Motta 1991}}: 202, 220). The letters are well preserved and easily legible, with the exception of the third letter in the third word: according to {{bib|De Marinis & Motta 1991}}: 202, 220 f., both bars for rho {{c||R}}/{{c||R3}} are visible, but do not meet due to a mistake on the part of the engraver: {{w||terialui}} could be formed from the same base as [[TI·26]] {{w||teromui}} (see the word page). Motta also considers, doubtfully, the possibility that the engraver applied either pi {{c||P}} for lambda {{c||L}} or the other war around (distracted by the appearance of both letters in the preceding word {{w||pala}}; cf. lambda for pi in [[TI·39]] {{w||lala}} and maybe pi for lambda (unless inverted lambda) in [[TI·36.3]] {{w||metalui}}), thus either {{w||telialui}} (cf. {{bib|Solinas 1995}}, {{bib|Markey & Mees 2003}}: 139) or {{w||tepialui}}. {{bib|Tibiletti Bruno 1997}}: 1013 suggests kappa, the engraver having committed an error of dittography by applying an upper bar as in preceding epsilon {{c||E}}, then decided to treat this as the lower bar of kappa and added the correct upper bar in the lower area: {{w||tekialui}} as in [[TI·39]].
 
{{w||pala}} is irregularly located between individual name and patronymic rather than at the end of the clause, cf. {{bib|De Marinis & Motta 1991}}: 221–224 with examples for elements of a name formula being separated by another word in Venetic, Etruscan and Greek inscriptions, {{bib|Tibiletti Bruno 1997}}: 1014; an alternative analysis with {{w||kuaśoni}} as a genitive naming the curator of the burial (already mentioned as theoretically possible in {{bib|De Marinis & Motta 1991}}: 224 f.) in {{bib|Solinas 1997}} (also {{bib|Morandi 2004}}); cf. the critique in {{bib|Eska & Wallace 2001}}.

Commentary

First published in De Marinis & Motta 1991.

Images in Donati 1985: 231, fig. 31 (photo), De Marinis & Motta 1991: 203, fig. 1 (photo and drawing = 219), Tibiletti Bruno 1997: fig. 1 (drawing) and fig. 2 (photo of upper part).

Inscribed in a single line within a frame running from bottom to top; the letters of the third word had to be squeezed more tightly than the rest of the inscription to fit underneath the circular head of the anthropomorphic frame (cf. De Marinis & Motta 1991: 202, 220). The letters are well preserved and easily legible, with the exception of the third letter in the third word: according to De Marinis & Motta 1991: 202, 220 f., both bars for rho R s/R3 s are visible, but do not meet due to a mistake on the part of the engraver: terialui could be formed from the same base as TI·26 teromui (see the word page). Motta also considers, doubtfully, the possibility that the engraver applied either pi P s for lambda L s or the other war around (distracted by the appearance of both letters in the preceding word pala; cf. lambda for pi in TI·39 lala and maybe pi for lambda (unless inverted lambda) in TI·36.3 metalui), thus either telialui (cf. Solinas 1995, Markey & Mees 2003: 139) or tepialui. Tibiletti Bruno 1997: 1013 suggests kappa, the engraver having committed an error of dittography by applying an upper bar as in preceding epsilon E s, then decided to treat this as the lower bar of kappa and added the correct upper bar in the lower area: tekialui as in TI·39.

pala is irregularly located between individual name and patronymic rather than at the end of the clause, cf. De Marinis & Motta 1991: 221–224 with examples for elements of a name formula being separated by another word in Venetic, Etruscan and Greek inscriptions, Tibiletti Bruno 1997: 1014; an alternative analysis with kuaśoni as a genitive naming the curator of the burial (already mentioned as theoretically possible in De Marinis & Motta 1991: 224 f.) in Solinas 1997 (also Morandi 2004); cf. the critique in Eska & Wallace 2001.
