Commentary
First published in Marstrander 1927: 18–24. Autopsied by TIR on 12th February 2014.
Images in Marstrander 1927: Pl. III (photo), Pellegrini 1969: tav. I (photo), Egg 1986: 228, Abb. 186 (drawing) and Nedoma 1995: 32, Fig. 11 (drawing) and Abb. 22 and 23 (photos), MLR (photo and drawing = Egg 1986).
Length 3.7 cm. Embossed with a pointed tool on the chamfer. The inscription is in excellent condition, the characters are easily legible. The only point of debate is the first letter, built up of a hasta with a circle of eight indentations, embossed counter-clockwise, encircling one of the hasta's topmost elements. A single indentation, apparently belonging to the hasta, appears over the circle. See also the detailed description by Marstrander 1927: 18. The letter has in the past been interpreted as a form of Zeta for t (Marstrander 1927: 20 ff., Prosdocimi in Prosdocimi & Scardigli 1976: 228, see also SL-2.3), as Etruscan f 
(Kretschmer 1943: 186, see also SL-2.3), or as i (Pellegrini 1969: 50 f., Egg 1986: 228 (Nr. 330)). See T for a discussion of , and the possible consequences for ascription to the Magrè alphabet. The small scratched bar extending upwards from the hasta to the left, suspected by Eichner 1994: 135 to be the bar of a character variant of Tau, we consider with Marstrander 1927: 18 to be unintentional – either a slip of the tool used for embossing, or entirely unconnected with the inscription. The same goes for what looks like one or even two indentations right below the bar of . See also Nedoma 1995: 33.
As the find circumstances are unknown, no terminus ante quem can be given for the dating of the inscription.
