Commentary

The sizes vary slightly in literature (cf. Motta 2000: 200, Tibiletti Bruno 1997: 1005 fn. 7). Tibiletti Bruno (1997: 1005-1006, fn. 8-9) dates the inscription TI·34.3 on the back side of this fragmented stela earlier due to palaeography and because the first part of the inscription lacks. After her TI·34.1 resp. TI·34.2 are complete and incised secondarly after the fragmentation of the stone (see also Tibiletti Bruno 1970, Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 137-138, Tibiletti Bruno 1969b: 240 cf. though De Marinis & Motta 1990-1: 217). In all the three inscriptions on this stone the onomastic formula consists only of the personal name (cf. Tibiletti Bruno 1997: 1016, TI·29 and perhaps TI·32).
