Commentary
Images in Mommsen 1853: Taf. I.5d (drawings by Pelli = CII: tab. I.1D), CII: tab. LVIII.1D (drawing of a cast by Baserga = Pauli 1885: Taf. I.1d),
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. The four fragments from Aranno were thus originally thought to be parts of the same stela despite not fitting together (Mommsen 1853: 202 f., no. 5). 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. Originally built into a wall of Pelli's house.
