Commentary

Sandstone slab. The size of the stone is different according to different sources: 385 × 19 (max.) × 42 (max.) cm (Motta 2000: 197), 375 × 18 (mean) × 33 (mean) cm (Morandi 2004: 638), 378 x 19 x 23 cm (Markey & Mees 2003: 121 fig. 2, they refer to the "'official' measurements"). Also the dating differs according to different sources: second quarter of 5th century BC (Motta 2000: 197, cp. De Marinis & Motta 1990-1: 211), "datable on epigraphic and archaeological grounds to about 480-450 BC" (Markey & Mees 2003: 116). The site is within Golasecca III B - Golaseccca III A 1-2; beaker finds in the approximate context of the stone can be dated Golasecca III A (Markey & Mees 2003: 116, 212 fig. 2, De Marinis & Motta 1990-1: 211-212, fig. 7). Sketch of the site in Markey & Mees 2003: 121 (fig. 2, from De Marinis & Motta 1990-1: fig. 6). The inscription on the stone "faced west, toward an area devoid of archaeological definition and away from what appear to have been more elaborate interior structures to the east", the stone was "apparently dry-mounted on a low exterior wall" (Markey & Mees 2003: 212 fig. 2, see also 120-122).
