Commentary
First published in Durandi 1774: 129 f.
Images in Durandi 1774: 130 (drawing), 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 this Etruscan style from the region of Volterra to the north (Gambari & Colonna 1988: 152, Colonna 1998: 262, cf. VA·6).
The first name is the standard Etruscan praenomen larθ (in the genitive larθial); the second name muθikuś is compared to Gaulish names like moticius by Gambari & Colonna 1988: 154, though they refer to Larθ Muθiku as a Ligurian (also Colonna 1998: 261 "celto-ligure", Sassatelli 2008: 337 f.). IE /o/ is spelled with upsilon in the Etruscan alphabet. See further on the word page.
Colonna 1998: 261–264 suggests that a "Celto-Ligurian" by the name of *motiko lived in the region of Volterra, where he took the Etruscan name larθ, while his Ligurian name functioned as gentilicium. Buried in his putative native country, his Etruscan-style epitaph was written on a local type of monument.
