Images in Solinas 2002: 486 (drawing), Morandi 2004: 720, fig. 39.302 (drawing) and 811, tav. XXXIV.302 (photo).
Inscribed running from the bottom toward the top between frame lines (16 cm distance; length 141 cm) with stylised head and feet (and eyes according to Piana Agostinetti 2004: 170; length of frame 163 cm). The inscription is applied in the centre of the stela's front face, indicating that it was written first, while TI·45.2 in a smaller frame to the left was added secondarily. The close association of the two frames, sharing one frame line and the smaller one's head being fitted into the longer one's neck, suggests that the inscriptions are associated; cf. TI·36.1/TI·36.2.
The letters are heavily abraded especially in the lower part; apart from final pala and preceding -ūi̯, the readings of Morandi (above) and Solinas differ considerably. The inscription does appear to contain the standard text formula of Ticino gravestones with the name of the deceased in the dative and pala; see the word pages for details.
Dating based on the shape of the anthropomorphic frame according to the typology of De Marinis & Motta 1991: 206 (type B or C?).
