Fragment of a mica schist stela or slab, found in March 1841 a quarter of a mile from Aranno near the old street which leads from there via the Monte d'Iseo to Neggio, on the property of one Vittore Corti (locality Màrtera according to {{bib|Tibiletti Bruno 1978}}: 136), at a depth of somewhat over half a metre, together with three other stone fragments. According to the first owner of the finds, Vittore Pelli from Aranno, they are the remains of a grave chamber, destroyed by the finders ({{bib|Mommsen 1853}}: 202 f., no. 5). The four fragments from Aranno were thus originally thought to be parts of the same stela despite not fitting together. {{bib|Rhŷs 1913}}: 23 determined them to belong to at least two stones, {{bib|Tibiletti Bruno 1965}} (also {{bib|Tibiletti Bruno 1965|1968c}}: 356) to be fragments of four different stelae which had been reused for the Aranno tomb. Built into a wall of Pelli's house (later the Osteria della Posta) until May 2000, they were removed on occasion of the [[De Marinis & Biaggio Simona 2000|''I Leponti'' exhibition]]. Dating according to {{bib|De Marinis & Motta 1991}}: 206, who tentatively classify the document as their type C although the execution of the ends of the frames is unknown (but cf. [[TI·30 Aranno]]).

Commentary

Images in Mommsen 1853: Taf. I.5b (drawings by Pelli = CII: tab. I.1B a and b), CII: tab. LVIII.1B (drawing of a cast by Serafino Balestra ~ Pauli 1885: Taf. I.1b), Tibiletti Bruno 1965: 113 and 118 (photos) and 119 (drawing).

Fragment of a mica schist stela or slab, found in March 1841 a quarter of a mile from Aranno near the old street which leads from there via the Monte d'Iseo to Neggio, on the property of one Vittore Corti, at a depth of somewhat over half a metre, together with three other stone fragments. According to the first owner of the finds, Vittore Pelli from Aranno, they are the remains of a grave chamber, destroyed by the finders (Mommsen 1853: 202 f., no. 5). Differently Crivelli 1940: 333, who gives the find year as 1818 and locates Corti's property in the locality Màrtera. See Tibiletti Bruno 1965: 105–109 for a discussion of the find circumstances.

The four fragments from Aranno were thus originally thought to be parts of the same stela despite not fitting together. Rhŷs 1913: 23 determined them to belong to at least two stones, Tibiletti Bruno 1965 (also 1968c: 356) to be fragments of four different stelae which had been reused for the Aranno tomb. Built into a wall of Pelli's house (later the Osteria della Posta; photo and drawing in Tibiletti Bruno 1965: 106 f.) until May 2000, they were removed on occasion of the I Leponti exhibition. Dating according to De Marinis & Motta 1991: 206, who tentatively classify the document as their type C although the execution of the ends of the frames is unknown (but cf. TI·30 Aranno).
