The inscription is located inside of a schematic human figurine, the left side is certainly complete (cf. {{bib|Tibiletti Bruno 1997}}: 1005-1006). After the punctuation marks, where the head of the figurine starts, the inscription ends. Since this inscription is younger than the other one on the same side of the gravestone and therefore can not be a part of it, the punctuation marks after {{w||pala}} are probably to be understood as a mark of the end of the sentence.

Commentary

First published in Giussani 1902: 25–31.

Images in Giussani 1902: 26, fig. 1 (drawing), Rhŷs 1914: tav. Ia (photo), Crivelli 1943: 33, fig. 52 (photo = Tibiletti Bruno 1997: fig. 4), Tibiletti Bruno 1990b: 81 (drawing), De Marinis & Motta 1991: 208, fig. 4 (drawing).

Inscribed inside an anthropomorphic frame with simple round head and stylised feet, which shares one line with the frame of TI·34.2. The letters are well legible. Upsilon is inverted, but epigraphically and linguistically more plausible than alpha without a bar, as read in the older literature and by Solinas 1995. An additional letter, possibly kappa, before initial alpha was only seen by Morandi 2004. The end of the inscription is marked by an additional separator.

Tibiletti Bruno 1970: 374 f. (also 1978: 137 f., 1990b: 89 f., 1997: 1005 f.) argues convincingly that this inscription and TI·34.2 are younger than TI·34.3 on the opposite side, since they and their frames are complete and appear to have been applied when the stone was already fragmentary (also Piana Agostinetti 2004: 157; the opposite position in De Marinis & Motta 1991: 218, Motta 2000: 200, no. 5 and Morandi 2004). The frame of the present inscription gives the impression of a rough imitation of the more elaborate anthropomorphic frames associated with type C of De Marinis & Motta 1991; 206, of which Tibiletti Bruno expects TI·34.3 to have been a representative – unless the rounded head is a more archaic feature related to type B? Since the two inscriptions were not applied by the same engraver, TI·34.1 is also likely somewhat older than TI·34.2, which is applied in an even simpler frame below it/to its left.

The inscription names the deceased only by his individual name (see aui), cf. the other inscriptions on this stone and possibly some of the inscriptions from Aranno.
