The preserved section of the inscription, inscribed between frame lines, represents the beginning; no letters can be seen on the intact surface before mu.

Images in Mommsen 1853: Taf. I.5c (drawings by Pelli = CII: tab. I.1C), Monti 1860: 59, no. 2 (drawing), CII: tab. LVIII.1C (drawing of a cast by Baserga = Oberziner 1883: 172 = Pauli 1885: Taf.

The preserved section of the inscription, inscribed between frame lines, represents the beginning; no letters can be seen on the intact surface before mu. The frame appears to end in stylised feet, of which the upper parts can just be made out at the breaking edge, indicating that the inscription runs from the bottom of the stela toward the top. The letters are well legible. While there are multiple theoretical options for the emendation of the name mationa( (nom. mationa, patronym dat. mationalui/mationalai), the most likely is a dative mationai 'for Mationa' (cf. Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 136, Morandi 2004; see the word page for details), the lost part of the inscription containing an optional patronym and the formula word pala (cf. TI·29). (Isn't iota or at least a hasta visible at the breaking edge?)
