Reading uncertain, see the inscription page.
Etruscan noun (also spelled zicu) derived with the agentive suffix -u from ziχ 'writing, document', and in turn forming the base for a derived verb ziχu- 'write'. Attested primarily onomastically, e.g. ET² Cl 1.318 vl. ziχu, Cl 1.320 Q. SCRIBONIUS [...] vl. zicu (Steinbauer 1999: 501).
