Commentary

First published by Sartori 1951: 14 f.

Pictures in Pellegrini & Prosdocimi 1967: 400 (photo) and Morandi 1999: fig. 32 and 33 (photos) and 34 (drawing).

The Latin inscription was only detected after the slab had been taken out of the church wall, where it had been placed with the allegedly Raetic inscription facing outward. Although Pellegrini mentioned the possibility of a bilingua and expressed his hope for the Latin text shedding light on the Raetic, Sartori. After this, the text is noted and reproduced in the Lingua Venetica with the comment "di dubbia trascrizione" (p. 400); similarly, Mancini refers to "un'iscrizione di età romana di difficile lettura" (p. 278).

The first to attempt a reading and interpretation was Alessandro Morandi (pp. 99 ff.)
