Commentary

First published in CII 24. Autopsied by TIR in November 2013.

Pictures in Sulzer 1855: Tav. IX (drawing), Schneller 1866: Taf. II, Fig. 3, CII: tab. II (drawing = AIF I: Taf. II,36 A), Giovanelli 1876: Taf. II, No. 4 (drawing), Oberziner 1883b: Tav. XX, 3 (drawing), IR: Tav. XXXVI c (photo), LIR (drawing), Marchesini 2014b: 202 and Taf. 2b (photos), Taf. 4 (reproduction of the drawing made by head of excavation Ciprian Pescosta in 1854/55), MLR (photo).

Hardly legible due to weathering and the fact that this side of the slab has not been smoothed (Marchesini 2014b: 208). Autopsy was impeded by the fact that the slab is currently on exhibition, fixedly attatched to the ground with its back to a wall, but a thorough examination of both sides of the slab was recently conducted by Simona Marchesini. The photograph provided in the publication confirms both that no further traces can be made out in the vicinity, and our own suspicions concerning the unequalness of the traces as seen on Mancini's photo – some deep and broad, some more fine and shallow and white in colour. We agree with Marchesini on the latter being hardly old, and of no relevance to the reading. The eroded lines are best interpreted as the letters N sT3 s, as seen by Marchesini (p. 208). They might be marks of some description (Marchesini 2014b: 204), or possibly correspond to the beginning of the inscription proper on the other side of the slab – the writer may have commenced the inscription, then decided that he hadn't planned the layout correctly (less probable, seeing as the surface is not smoothed), or tried his instrument in an inconspicuous spot before starting on the text.
