Commentary
First published in Giussani 1902: 25–31.
Images in Giussani 1902: 26, fig. 1 (drawing), Rhŷs 1914: tav. Ib (photo), Crivelli 1943: 33, fig. 51 (photo = Tibiletti Bruno 1997: fig. 3), Tibiletti Bruno 1990b: 81 (drawing), De Marinis & Motta 1991: 208, fig. 4 (drawing).
The fragment preserved the middle part of an inscription applied between frame lines. The letters are well legible. On the upper end, the stone appears to have broken along the hasta of the final alpha of pala.
Tibiletti Bruno 1970: 374 f. (also 1978: 137 f., 1990b: 89 f., 1997: 1005 f.) argues convincingly that this inscription predates TI·34.1 and TI·34.2: being incomplete on both ends, it was written on the original stela when it was complete, while the inscriptions on the opposite side were applied at a later date on an already fragmentary stone (also Piana Agostinetti: 157; the opposite position in De Marinis & Motta 1991: 218, Motta 2000: 200, no. 5 and Morandi 2004). The full form of the frame is unknown; Tibiletti Bruno expects it to have been a representative of type C of De Marinis & Motta 1991; 206, the model for the simplified frame of TI·34.1.
The inscription appears to name the deceased only by his individual name (see )rkomui; cf. the other inscriptions on this stone and possibly some of the inscriptions from Aranno), unless the patronym followed after pala as in TI·27.1.
