Commentary

Images in De Giuli 1979: 248 (photo fig. 3 drawing).

Latin name formula and Latin alphabet, but irregular forms of epsilon, nu and ksi. See Tibiletti Bruno 1979: 260–262, Tibiletti Bruno 1981: 168, no. 15a, De Giuli 1979: 245, 251. Morandi 2004: 565 dates the inscription to the first half of the 1^st century BC based on the use of ⟨x⟩ rather than ⟨xs⟩, but this seems too early; the Epigraphische Datenbank Heidelberg (HD001987) dates the document to the 1^st century AD.
