Commentary
First published in Gambari 2007: 256–258.
Images in Spagnolo Garzoli 2009: 41, fig. 25 (photo = Solinas 2022: 857, fig. 1a [in greyscale]), Gambari 2011: 27, fig. 12 (photo), Gambari 2011b: 65, fig. 7 (photo).
Fairly well legible except for sigma in the first line, which had to be squeezed in; in the second line, the last two letters did not fit and were written below its end. The shape of mu is Latinised; otherwise, the letters have traditional North Italic shapes. Gambari 2007: 257 argues that sigma with rounded lines was imported from Transalpine Gaul.
The text is a two-part name with individual name and patronym in -ikn-, presumably the name of a deceased person or ancestor, unless the stone was a boundary marker as assumed by Gambari 2011: 27 f. (See the object page on the function of the structure in which the stela was found.)
