Commentary
First published in Duranti, Piemonte cispadano (Torino 1774): 130.
Images in CII: tav. V (drawing), Gambari & Colonna 1988: tav. XLIX (photo), Colonna 1998: 262, fig. 244 (drawing = Sassatelli 2008: 337, fig. 12).
Inscribed on a flattened side of the rough stone, in a horseshoe-shaped frame, which documents the transmission of the Etruscan style to the north (Gambari & Colonna 1988: 152, Colonna 1998: 262, cf. VA·6).
The first name is the standard Etruscan praenomen larth; the second name muθikuś is compared to Gaulish names lik motucus, moticius, mottius by Gambari & Colonna 1988: 154 (though they refer to Larθ Muθiku as a Ligurian) (also Colonna 1998: 261 "celto-ligure", Sassatelli 2008: 337 f.). See further on the word page.
Colonna 1998: 261–264 classifies muθiku as a gentilicium formed from a Ligurian PN, while larth took the place of the PN when the guy went to the region of Volterra (because of the frame), before going back home and being buried there (where an Etruscan-speaking community must have existed since the inscription is Etruscan).
