Inscribed on the front of the bronze in two sinistroverse lines running along the edges, with the top of the letters toward the centre. It cannot be securely determined which line should be read first. Our line 1 starts at the head (length 7.5 cm), line 2 starts at the tail fin (length 6 cm). The letters are well legible, despite problems posed by the bulges above the back fins. The inscription was applied after the hole was drilled, as the lines of second {{c||A5}} stop short before it. In line 2, the left hasta of {{c||A5}} is bent to avoid the bulge above the fin.

Line 1 can be segmented into three words: two individual names {{w||laspa}} and {{w||esiunne}}, and a patronymic in {{m||-nu}}. Line 2 can be segmented into a single individual name {{w||lipie}} (or {{w||pipie}}?) plus patronymic. Of these five names, only {{w||laspa}} is documented elsewhere in this form, but {{w||esiunne}} is highly likely to correspond to either {{w||esimnesi|esimne}} or {{w||esumnesi|esumne}}. While the latter might theoretically belong with either of the two patronymics ('Laspa, son of Θia*, and Esiunne; Lipie, son of Kalaśu' vs. 'Laspa, son of Θia*; Esiunne (and) Lipie, sons of Kalaśu', it is more likely to belong with line 1, seeing as both lines terminate before the end of the object is reached – if no separation of two name formulas had been attempted, {{w||lipie}} could well have fit into line 1. It remains to be decided whether the two lines belong to the same inscription, i.e. whether they were inscribed at one time (indicating three persons investing into an offering together), or whether one of the lines documents a reuse of the object. We do not know whether such a thing would have been possible, but note the use of {{c||L2}} in line 1 vs. {{c||L}} in line 2 (cp., however, inscriptions like [[index::SZ-30]], where both variants are employed). The overall ductus of the two lines is very similar, but this is true of a number of the Sanzeno bronze inscriptions.

Inscribed on the front of the bronze in two sinistroverse lines running along the edges, with the top of the letters toward the centre. It cannot be securely determined which line should be read first. Our line 1 starts at the head (length 7.5 cm), line 2 starts at the tail fin (length 6 cm). The letters are well legible, despite problems posed by the bulges above the back fins. The inscription was applied after the hole was drilled, as the lines of second A5 s stop short before it. In line 2, the left hasta of A5 s is bent to avoid the bulge above the fin.

Line 1 can be segmented into three words: two individual names lasta and esiunne, and a patronymic in -nu. Line 2 can be segmented into the single individual name pitie plus patronymic. Of these five names, lasta and pitie are well documented, esiunne is highly likely to correspond to either esimne or esumne. While the latter might theoretically belong with either of the two patronymics ('Lasta, son of Θia*, and Esiunne; Pitie, son of Kapaśu' vs. 'Lasta, son of Θia*; Esiunne (and) Pitie, sons of Kapaśu', it is more likely to belong with line 1, seeing as both lines terminate before the end of the object is reached – if no separation of two name formulas had been attempted, pitie could well have fit into line 1. In either case, the sequence pitiekapaśunu might be segmented pitieka with the enclitical conjunction 'and' plus the patronymic paśunu. It remains to be decided whether the two lines belong to the same inscription, i.e. whether they were inscribed at one time (indicating three persons investing into an offering together), or whether one of the lines documents a reuse of the object. The overall ductus of the two lines is very similar, but this is true of a number of the Sanzeno bronze inscriptions.
