Commentary

First published in Bermond Montanari 1988.

Images in Bermond Montanari 1988: 241, fig. 2 (drawings), 243, fig. 3 (above, drawing = Malnati & Bermond Montanari 1989: 1575, fig. 5 = Sassatelli 2008: 325, fig. 2), tav. LXIII.35 (photo).

Inscribed in a single band around the circumference of the cippus, separating two decorative panels. Numerous letters are damaged, especially in a section of ca. 30 cm around the middle part.

The personal name kuvei is interpreted by De Simone 1992b: 11 f. as the Etruscan feminine form in -i of an etymologically Celtic name kou̯os; see further on the word page.
